IT ALL STARTED WITH THE CARDINALS
My fascination with the color red. It continued when I became a minor league Cardinal in Little League at the age of 8. Next I was a Field School Redbird. And, yes it continues today. The color of my car? Candy Apple Red.
I recently read that if a woman wants to attract a man, she should dress in red. It somehow had to do with a study that measured men's pulses that rose at the sight of a woman in red rather than any other color. As much as I like red, I'd have to question that study. Common sense would tell me it would depend on who was wearing what.
My obsession continued to the St. Louis Football Cardinals. Then they moved to AZ. I followed them a few years later. Believe it or not, I'm actually rooting for them again. Even against my St.Louis Rams today. Whether my new hometown, Kurt Warner, or the color red has the deciding vote for whom to root for, I don't know. I guess there needs to be a study.
College years, well Rend Lake Warriors had some red in their unis. So did the Illinois State Redbirds and SIU Salukis, although the latter was maroon.
The sun used to bleach a little part of my hair red, but no more. It's too hard to get through all that gray.
Maybe I'll change colors. You know, to match my hair. Are there any salt and pepper, mostly salt teams? What? The Raiders. Nevermind.
