This Fan's Seasons: irony

of course this fantastic story about Omar Minaya and the Mets team he's built is the cover story in Sports Illustrated this week.

What's this all about?

I've been a New York Mets fan all of my life. The 2006 season was the first I'd paid a lot of attention to in a decade, and in the process was reminded of the positive role of fandom in my life. In 2007, I wanted to remember it all, so I started this blog. I was just as engaged with the 2008 season as I had been the year before, but couldn’t find the time to blog about it as regularly as I feel a baseball blog needs to be updated to stay at all interesting. Now that it's 2009, I want again to write about the joys and sorrows of being a Mets fan, and so This Fan's Seasons continue.

This Fan's "Mission Statement"

This Fan's Seasons is about how I experience being a baseball fan and a Mets fan in my life.

This blog is less about baseball than it is about the experience of being a baseball fan, so if you're looking for in-depth game-by-game analysis, there are many other blogs and newspapers I can happily recommend (most are listed in the blogroll above). Though I do get into game analysis sometimes, it's not my goal nor my interest to be an exhaustive source on the ins-and-outs of any particular game.

If you want to read and converse about how it feels to be a dedicated fan, you're in the right place.
