<br>
<br><strong>Kevin:</strong> OK. Great. I love sports.
<br>
<br><strong>Todd:</strong> What sports do you like?
<br>
<br><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.
<br>
<br><strong>Todd:</strong> Wow.
<br>
<br><strong>Kevin:</strong> My whole life.
<br>
<br><strong>Todd:</strong> You mean your father was a player in the Major Leagues?
<br>
<br><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.
<br>
<br><strong>Todd:</strong> Wow! That's amazing.
<br>
<br><strong>Kevin:</strong> Yeah, The Amazing Met's. 1969.
<br>
<br><strong>Todd:</strong> Wow, that's great. Did you play baseball yourself?
<br>
<br><strong>Kevin:</strong> Yeah, I played baseball pretty much my whole life up through college and university.
<br>
<br><strong>Todd:</strong> OK. Why did you stop?
<br>
<br><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 persuing other things.
<br>
<br><strong>Todd:</strong> OK. Great. Do you like any others sports?
<br>
<br><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.
<br>
<br><strong>Todd:</strong> Oh, really?
<br>
<br><strong>Kevin:</strong> Yeah.
<br>
<br><strong>Todd:</strong> Nice. Have you ever seen a sumo match live?
<br>
<br><strong>Kevin:</strong> Yes, I have. I've been to two sumo bashos as they call them or matches in Tokyo.
<br>
<br><strong>Todd:</strong> Nice. Yeah, I wanna go. I wanna go myself.
<br>
<br><strong>Kevin:</strong> Yeah, let's go sometime.
<br>
<br><strong>Todd:</strong> OK. Let's do it.</div>]]>
