A late introduction...

I thought, why not? Been a member for a few months and even though I have written a lot I still read the threads as much as I can, normally every day. I'm 19 years old and lives in Gothenburg, Sweden. I started to get into baseball right before this season and I can't really say what got me into the Reds. The first game I see was Marlins against some team I don't remember and D-Train was lights out. I was hooked, on baseball that is. I guess I leaned a little towards Reds but the tipping point was when I saw Cueto's debut, oh boy! Anyway, since then I tried to watch at least a game per day (sometimes whatever game was available) and right now I'm eager to see the Reds this offseason. It's a shame this beautiful sport has so little interest here in Sweden.

Thanks for reading!

Re: A late introduction...

Hey Farnsie, are you a Zlatan Ibrahimović fan? What is your favorite club team?

Re: A late introduction...

Wouldn't call myself a fan but I got nothing against him. A lot of people here in Sweden actually dislikes him, for some unknown reason. But I see him as one of the greatest football players in Sweden, ever! Leeds United A.F.C for the win!

Welcome to the Reds fanbase Farnsie! I don't know much about your country except I hear the women are pleasing to the eye.
