There were no Barbie's. There was no lip stick, (until later that is).
When every other girl my age was wearing dresses you couldn't get me out of sneakers and billed hats. It was more about the next black eye and who's stat sheet was perfect.
Always competing for who could figure out the new sports acronym first, my older brother, drilled in my love of sports.
After playing soccer and t-ball, I studied basketball and football. Wanting to learn more, keeping score sheets became my hobby.
Once I knew the ins and outs, sports journalism became my career of choice.
This time wearing dresses and heels.
