OSU, Browns, Indians, and Cavs until I die. Dad doesn't follow sports as much as he used to, but those are his teams too...

For Christmas for about 3 years in a row back in the early 90's, Dad got the whole family tickets to see the Price/Daugherty/Nance era Cavs back at the old Richfield Coliseum. That, and my first ever Browns game at old Municipal was the Browns vs. the Broncos, about 1993 or so with Dad.

He never had a lot of extra time since he was a dairy farmer, but we usually got to at least one sporting event per year while I was growing up...

Absolutely. My earliest Browns memory was watching the 1987 AFC Championship (The Drive) with my Dad and uncles. They had a party for the game...I wasn't really old enough at the time to truly understand and appreciate what happened, but I knew we lost...and I remember everyone at the party being devastated after the game.

I remember my first Indians game at the old stadium against Kansas City. I was a little kid, like 5 or 6 years old, and I don't remember many of the details, but I remember we met the umpires before the game and during the game Bo Jackson hit a bomb to center that had me in awe.

My dad was never a sports fan.

Except he did like watching boxing when my sisters and I were young, however, never could watch that with him.

My dad's only "team" is the New York Yankees. A team he picked up because they were the only team on regularly in Montana. So, no.

My dad's Yankee fandom also makes believe that I was adopted.
