I am a fanatic

According to dictionary.com, a fan is "a person marked or motivated by an extreme, unreasoning enthusiasm, as for a cause". For me, the enthusiasm is extreme, overpowering, intense. The cause: sports. The crack of a bat brings me joy, a ball on the court sends chills of excitement up my spine, a ball kicked across an open field and into the net brings me delight.

Yes, I truly have an "unreasoning" emotional reaction to watching sports being played. It can't be described but one thing I do know: I never want it to change!!
