<p><strong>Kevin: </strong>OK. Great. I love sports.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>What sports do you like?</p>
<p><strong>Kevin: </strong>Well, my favorite sport is baseball. Obviously, I grew up and my father was a baseball player so I was always around baseball.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Wow.</p>
<p><strong>Kevin: </strong>My whole life.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>You mean your father was a player in the Major Leagues?</p>
<p><strong>Kevin: </strong>Yeah, exactly. Not only was he a player in the Major Leagues, he was fortunate enough to play in the World Series twice with the New York Mets.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Wow! That's amazing.</p>
<p><strong>Kevin: </strong>Yeah, The Amazing Met's. 1969.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Wow, that's great. Did you play baseball yourself?</p>
<p><strong>Kevin: </strong>Yeah, I played baseball pretty much my whole life up through college and university.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>OK. Why did you stop?</p> 
<p><strong>Kevin: </strong>Well, it wasn't exactly by choice. I wasn't drafted high enough in professional baseball to.. in order for me to sign, so I ended up retiring from baseball and pursuing other things.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>OK. Great. Do you like any others sports?</p>
<p><strong>Kevin: </strong>Yeah. I actually, I enjoy all competition. You know I enjoy the other typical American sports of basketball and American football and so on. I also try to learn about and enjoy the national sport of the countries that I'm in. For example now I'm in Japan and I've actually gotten quite into Sumo wrestling.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Oh, really?</p>
<p><strong>Kevin: </strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Nice. Have you ever seen a sumo match live?</p>
<p><strong>Kevin: </strong>Yes, I have. I've been to two sumo bashos as they call them or matches in Tokyo.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Nice. Yeah, I wanna go. I wanna go myself.</p>
<p><strong>Kevin: </strong>Yeah, let's go sometime.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>OK. Let's do it.</p></div>]]>
