Message: [QUOTE="boog204, post: 3388361, member: 880"] It's tough to compare eras, but I'm unbelievably fortunate that the most meaningful period of sports fandom for me was at the peak of my two favorite teams, UConn and the Yankees, having unbelievable success. It's funny in retrospect hearing my dad speak in the mid-90s about how UConn frequently broke his heart in what was then the previous 40 years of him following the team. I never really experienced that. Sure, we had some tough losses in the 90s, but Jesus what an unreal twenty-year run I witnessed seemingly in-person. Same with the Yankees. My first baseball memory was my brother telling me that the Yanks had just acquired the "coolest player in baseball" in Rickey Henderson. So I had a few cool years of Rickey, Winfield, and of course, Donnie Baseball, but not great success until 95 and then... Wow. I was quite lucky. [/QUOTE]
