Sports: Introduction

While living in many states and cities throughout my childhood, I developed a fanhood for a diverse set of sports teams throughout the Central U.S. The teams below are listed in order. I have lived in each city or state and have been following the teams for many years (i.e. not a bandwagon fan).



I have enjoyed the thrill of a championship victory four times since I truly started watching and enjoying sports (after 1998):



1999 - Dallas Stars
2006 - St. Louis Cardinals
2011 - Dallas Mavericks
2011 - St. Louis Cardinals
(Note: OU's 2000 National Championship was won prior to my becoming a Sooners fan)
