In my previous post, I made reference to the kid in the green t-shirt who turned out to be the REAL star of that 18 inning Pirates - Nats game yesterday.
I just found this article on line which is a pretty good essay on the emotions that come with sports fandom, and it shows some great clips of the kid himself.
Enjoy....

I was a kid once, a long time ago, we lived and died with the Buccos. I was lucky to be in the era of Roberto Clemente, et al., and will never forget the unbridled glee I felt when they won and I was in the bleachers with my buddies.
