Why do I love sports? Because of This Week in Baseball and the song that still gives me goosebumps
Good morning! Today is Tuesday, June 23 and I'm Tim G., here to help kick off the day.

We asked why you fell in love with sports. These are those stories.
Today's memory is from Paste BN Sports' Stephen Borelli:
The song still gives me goose bumps. It danced along with a Pete Rose head-first slide, a skyward Fernando Valenzuela glance and heavy high-fives from Kirk Gibson. It signaled the end of my favorite television show, “This Week in Baseball,” but it was one last flourish to tide me over until next week. I was not alone.
