Just notice you were from Vermont. How did you become a NAts fan in Vermont. Isn't Philadelphia closer?
In Vermont, Boston and New York are the two teams that 99% of people follow. I was a Red Sox fan, although I really didn't care about baseball. I actually got into baseball by playing the MVP Baseball series. When I was hooked on baseball in the summer of '05, I started to try to become a real Red Sox fan, but I just couldn't get hooked on them. As pathetic as this seems, I was looking on teams' websites, looking for what team I would become a fan of. I picked the Nats because they were a new team, they were the Expos (which were close to Vermont). I felt that the Nats would be a good team to be a new fan of because the team was new itself. As soon as I decided, I bought MLB.TV, and watched my first game on June 5th, 2005, which was a win against the Marlins. Since then, I've gone to five or six games in person (since there are no teams close to Vermont that play the Nats) and I found this forum on July 8th, 2006.
That's my story.
