“From the Cheap Seats”
Dale Shepard – Columnist
Greetings to my fellow Arizona sports fans and welcome to my weekly articles on all our teams here in the Valley. Let me say this upfront, I am anArizonafan. I don’t have a favorite team back east and keep our local teams as an amusing past time. I am an Arizona homer, I love our teams win or lose.
My goal with these weekly articles is to inform and inspire from a fan’s perspective. I’ll do my best to give you views and opinions from outside the press box that can stimulate interaction with myself and get us to grow our fan base for our beloved teams. Some of the best sports talk goes on around the table at our favorite pub while having a cold beverage or the water-cooler at work. In many ways, I want these articles to be the same way. The way I can do that is to be real, a real fan. Where we may disagree on topics and views, come gametime, we are Arizona fans.
I know what it’s like to be a fan of another team while living here in Phoenix. I was a Chicago fan from birth but my transition to an Arizona fan wasn’t overnight but it was complete. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Our teams deserve our support; they’re good for our community and our state. Come along for the ride! You won’t regret it!
