An Intro to Dave: The Average Joe Fanatic

Hello to everyone out there! I thought I would take the time to introduce myself, tell you a little of my background and what this blog will ultimately be about.

My name is Dave Underhill, and I live in what many consider to be one of the greatest sports cities in the country, if not the greatest, St. Louis, MO. I know this is debatable, but having been here for 10 years now, I would have to agree. I am married to a wonderful, beautiful woman, have two incredible children, three step-children, and a dog.

I am a sports nut, much to the dismay of my wife, but I eat, sleep and breathe sports(not necessarily in that order). I love to watch, play, and read about almost any sport there is out there. Whether it is basketball, football, baseball, soccer, golf, tennis, hockey, or anything in between, I will watch it. This all started at the very young age of two , when my late Great Aunt would ask me what I wanted to do when I grew up, and I responded with; "play center field for the Baltimore Orioles". Pretty ambitious for a two year old, but that is where it all started. My mother soon picked up the slack, and she may be as big, if not an even bigger fan than I am, so my passion comes as no surprise. As I got older, I wanted to try just about every sport there was available, but unfortunately, had to be choosy as too many of them shared the same season. I settled on soccer, basketball, baseball and swimming. I was an all around good athlete, which also helped ignite the sports fire in me. I could not watch enough, or go to enough games to satisfy that desire.

That passion and desire are still around today, and as a result, I thought that I would share my own unique, "average Joe" perspective into what is happening in the world of sports today. That is going to be the basis of my articles, so sit back, relax, and enjoy, and I look forward to hearing from you.
