That's me!

I try to read a comic book a day, been collecting since I was 5, and at my current rate, i'll die with more than 3000 of the comics I own, unread.

Love Nascar, but not so much the cup series, I'm more into the truck series and smaller touring series. I still watch the cup races, but it's become to political.

Discovered Doctor who through comics, and PBS, Jon Pertwee is my doctor, and i'll watch a classic story before a new story.

And baseball, it's the only sport that has remained true to it's games roots, mostly. And I love the minor leagues.

Well 2 out of 3 is not bad. Comics and baseball. Been collecting them since 1964. But I generally stopped reading new comics in the mid '90's, although I still occasionally pick up something worthwhile. I like the recent Criminal series.
Baseball? NY Mets. Went to my first game in 1968. Never stopped rooting for them in 48 years.

When I was a kid in the 1960's, I liked to go to the dime store and buy Superman comics. I enjoyed reading them, but for some reason my mother didn't approve of my reading them.

I became a baseball fan at the ripe old age of 7, in 1960. I was learning to read and recognized the word "boy" in Ken Boyer's name. He was the third baseman for the Cardinals. I was a big Cardinal fan until they traded him to the Mets in 1966. I became a Tom Seaver and Dave Kingman fan in the 1980's. Late in the 1980's I started pulling for the Cardinals again, but the steroids thing took a lot of the fun out of it for me. I like home runs, but only legitimate home runs. Steroids-induced home runs aren't the same thing. I still follow baseball, though.
 
The Met's and Cards were in the same division for a number of years. Those mid '80's races were fun.
