I don't need Sox tickets for that, I can do it in the doctors office for free. There was another reason why I never got into sports, at least in retrospect. It's a reason I didn't get into a lot of things. Kids are wierd. Kids are mean.
Kids are cliquish.
I was extremely sensitive. I never understood the rules to most sports games, and I didn't know much about the teams, the players, and all that other jazz. I wasn't initiated into the cult of athletics. I was also a nerdy kid that got picked on a lot. No one was about to extend their hand to me and initiate me, tell me what I needed to know, explain things to me, answer my questions.
