Baseball
I was a Reds fan the day I was born: Game 1 of the NLCS in 1975 vs Pirates. My entire family consists of Reds fans. The most memorable games I saw in person were Tom Browning's perfect game in '88, game 5 of the NLCS in '90 vs Pirates, and game 1 of the '90 World Series vs A's. I also became a Yankees fan at a young age. I was either 11 or 12 when my father and step-grandfather took me to a game at Yankee Stadium. Tommy John was the starting pitcher and Don Mattingly of course played first - both Indiana boys. Yankees were down by 2 in bottom of 8 when Dave Winfield came up with two on and belted a homer into center field to take the lead. Dave Righetti then came in to close it out.

College Football
Notre Dame and IU are my favorites. Being an IU fan, football season is often depressing; however, being from a large Catholic family, we all are Fighting Irish football fans. My dad use to be a huge Montana fan and is still a huge Bengals fan..."use to be" is the key phrase there...

Pro Football
I grew up a Bengals fan, but also became a Colts fan after they moved to Indy. My first real memories of football were when the Bengals beat the Chargers to go to the Super Bowl in 1981, only to lose to the 49ers (and Montana). Then the dreaded 49ers beat my Bengals in the '89 Super Bowl (Montana again). Head-to-head, I still cheer for the Bengals.

College Basketball
If you are born in the southern half on the state and don't live on a farm, you are an IU fan...and Bob Knight is king! Even though I grew up around farm communities, I did not grow up on a farm. Thus, I bleed cream and crimson...and yes Bob Knight is still king around here!

Pro Basketball
I've never been much of a pro basketball fan, but I did enjoy watching the Pacers and Reggie Miller. After Reggie retired, I lost interest in pro basketball again.

Hockey
I never really got into hockey as I never grew up around an ice rink nor any professional hockey teams. Although, my wife's uncle is a huge hockey fan (Columbus Blue Jackets) and took me to my first pro game last year...so I guess if I had to cheer for any team it would probably be the Blue Jackets.
