From whence came this interest in sports?

As a feral youth on the dirty streets of New York,
I can't say a deep knowledge of sports statistics was high
on my list of thing one needs to know to survive.

But that was New York, home of The New York Yankees.

We won, we won, we won, oh dear, we lost, oh well, we won, we won...

To tell you the truth, and the people of Boston may have difficultly understanding this:

It gets boring to win all of the time.

Boring and an accepted fact of living. The Yankees win, next....

But now I am in Boston. It is a religion here. No joke.

If you don't have a long list of reasonsThe Yankees won,
other than they are a well run professional baseball team,
then you may as well exclude yourself from all social
contact during the baseball season.

There's more. The New England Patriots.

They play in Foxboro, but as far as the people in Boston are concerned,
they are a Boston team.
This could be because they are winning, so far.

Will the feral youth of Boston one day say,
"The Patriots, they win, they win, they win...ho, hum?"

I doubt it.

There is always baseball.
