It wasn't really until the 10th or 11th grade when I started to play well, and football took the place of baseball, which was my love when I was five years old. I don't know what happened; baseball just got boring to me, I guess.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I always played sports when I was young. I played football and baseball for eight years. I loved football.
I wanted to play baseball ever since I was 5 years old.
School work and intellectual interests such as music and the arts were not especially important to me while I was growing up, although mathematics, my favorite subject, was fun. Baseball was my first passion: I played sand lot and Little League and rooted for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Well, baseball was my whole life. Nothing's ever been as fun as baseball.
I started playing baseball and soccer. Those were my sports on the streets and in school when I was growing up. I didn't even start playing basketball until I was 14.
By the time I was 8 years old, sports had pretty much taken over my life.
I was a baseball guy. Mom wouldn't let me play football when I was little because she was scared I'd get hurt. So, I finally convinced her to let me play in 7th grade.
My little brothers loved baseball. I'm not as big on that as basketball or football, but I understand the game.
Well, my favorite sport as a kid was clearly baseball.
I had a great time with baseball growing up. I was lucky to grow up with it and to learn.
