A Case of Mistaken Identity: How I Became a St. Louis Cardinals Baseball Fan–Kinda Sorta
Did you know that “Fan” is short for “Fanatic”?
There are fans, then there are FANS.
I am a fan but not a FAN Get it? Got if? Good! LOL
If you’re scrunching your face up, fear not my fellow baseball fan, all will become clear, just keep reading. 🙂
I enjoy baseball. If I’m going to watch any professional sporting event, then it will probably be a baseball game. And Baseball is just about the ONLY professional sporting event that I’ll actually spend money and time to go see, live, in person.
Among baseball teams, the St. Louis Cardinals are definitely my favorite team, which says something since I live in Dallas Texas and hereabouts there are a buncha Texas Rangers fans who don’t take kindly to folks who root fer them thar varmints who kinda whooped up a bit on the Rangers in a certain World Series matchup that Texans are still trying to forget.

The Stonewall Book Awards: An Introduction and Overview
The Stonewall Book Award
The Stonewall Book Awards are presented each year to English-language books of exceptional quality, worth and merit, relating to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) experience.
The very first award, originally called the “Gay Book Award” was presented in 1971 to a book titled Patience and Sarah / by Isabel Miller.
The award is presented by the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Round Table (GLBTRT) which is a division of the American Library Association. A committee of librarians review the books, drawing from a pool of candidates which were published the year prior to the announcement date.

I had the honor of attending one of the Stonewall Book Award ceremonies in 1996 when the ALA Annual Convention was held in New York City.
It was at that ceremony that I met the featured speaker, Patricia Nell Warren, the author of the Front Runner.
I handed her a very old, very worn, paperback copy of her book, The Front Runner, to sign and her comment was “Wow, I haven’t seen one of these in a while!” referring to the edition with the cover shown over to the left.
I told her that had enjoyed the book so much that I had kept it with me for years, through countless moves. When I found out that she was going to be speaking at ALA, I went on a frenzy of cleaning and digging through my storage unit, to find the book, so I could bring it with me and have her autograph the book for me.
She smiled and signed the book for me. It told her that I thought the book was an awesome story and share with her how when a much younger me had read the book, I was blown away by the story. It was one of those watershed moments. She responded that …. [Read the rest of the article]
