In 1972, the Washington Redskins advanced to the Super Bowl. I was five almost six years-old. I remember the excitement around town and the joy that filled the house as the big day approached. The Redskins luckily would advance to several more Super Bowls and even though I have been in Baltimore since 1983, I still bleed burgundy and gold. My eldest son was about the same age the first time the Ravens made the Super Bowl and he was hooked. My younger son, was not yet alive the last time the Baltimore Ravens made it to the Big Game. My daughters are both stoked that the team has made it to NOLA.
Tonight, we had six 12 year-olds in the basement watching the game and I think that they are all hooked on the Ravens.
What was the memory that hooked you on your favorite team? Let me know...
