Sports fans have witnessed plays that include the impossible, miraculous and the amazing. Those miracle moments keep the fan coming back for more, keep the fan involved in sport and keep sport alive. As a sports follower there are those defining moments—those memories that we cherish, abhor, love and never forget. And while fans vary from fickle to fair-weather to die-hard—they urge sport along—in essence they are the reason. Without the fan—athletes, managers, owners and stadiums would not exist.
The cheers in the stands, the anxious waiting on the sidelines, or even huddling around a television, give us that sense of togetherness—that sense of sharing in a great moment. Through time we reflect on those important moments—and those times that we have shared with others. And while those great sports moments are important it’s also those shared moments that mean just as much if not more than those great memories. It’s those individuals that stand along side you and understand your passion for the sport. Whether it was your dad, your grandmother or your best friend, it’s those people that keep you connected and brought you to the game itself.
