Since I was a young kid, I would go to the public park and play baseball with neighborhood friends. By playing baseball in my public park, it gave me a love for baseball. My cousin always would mention the Yankees to me and it piqued my interest. As a young child, I would watch the Yankees game on my television and I was hooked from the start. I can recall players like Derek Jeter or Alex Rodriguez being some of my favorite players in the mid-2000s.

I would watch most of the Yankees game on TV and I remember just being emotionally invested into the team that I would be upset if they lost. My diehard Yankees fandom became a passion throughout my life and I would voice my frustrations if the team was struggling to meet expectations.

What felt great as a young fan was witnessing them win another championship in 2009. I felt ecstatic and I would express how ecstatic I was to my friends in school the next day. In this current day, I am a diehard Yankees fan, and being a diehard fan has been my passion since I was 6 years old.

Here is a photo I took of Yankee Stadium :
