One of the strongest elements tying my sister's family together is their mutual love of baseball. Her younger daughter is in Chile on exchange this semester, and is quite distraught at missing the As charge into the playoffs.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

I would love to find someone who shares my love of baseball. though that would hopefully just be one piece of the bigger picture. But if they didn't, it wouldn't be a dealbreaker (as long as they could handle my sometimes manic fannishness).

I have to explain sports to Hubby. I also have to remind him if the president is a Democrat or a Republican.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Pretty much anyone I spend time with shares some interests with me and also has some interests I don't share (and ditto the other way).

I found that I only needed a passing knowledge of the Red Sox (and the AL East) for small talk purposes in the Boston area.
I find the same thing to be true WRT the Saints down here. But it's easier to avoid specific, just say who dat and Drew Brees and you're good.

I find that asking "...what sport is that?" whenever a team name is mentioned gets me out of most sports-related conversations.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When people ask me what football team I like, I say I'm a fair-weather fan and root for either the Bears or Packers, depending on how they're doing.
Sometimes these people give me a suspicious look.

I just have to come in to say I got to wave at the President's motorcade as it passed my building on the way to a rally here in Madison.

Once "Nomaaaaaaah!" wasn't good enough anymore, I was out of luck. I mean, me and the Sox both, am I right?? (I have no idea if I am right.)
