Dodgerblu, 69

sports has been major passion of my life beginning at 8, barnstorming across the us, working on my father's sprint car pit crew; playing baseball from little league through college and baseball stadium touring across the us. the passion continues today, enjoying playing tennis more every time i play and spectating/viewing other sports, notably baseball, hockey and tennis. sports to me is greatest metaphor of life, has taught me many life lessons.

i'm a "young at heart", confident and decisive man with plenty of energy, ambition, playful banter and enthusiasm who processes life with brain, heart and gut, not ego. i'm down to earth, sincere, affectionate and romantic.

i grew up in low income household, grateful for humble beginnings; taught me value of work ethic and appreciation for "simple pleasures".

i'm not all consumed by sports, pretty much a "homebody" who is very social, enjoying weekend getaways. huge seinfeld and big bang fan, jazz/oldies/classic rock junkie. enjoy live comedy shows, live theater, movies, bike riding, white water rafting (almost drowned), bowling and shoot "mean" game of 8-ball.

i desire an outgoing, vocal, sporty (tennis partner would be heaven!), active "moxie" type of woman who's not afraid to get her hands dirty and feels comfortable in sneaker or heels. she has warmth, passion, sense of humor, is playful, affectionate and direct.

i strive on daily basis to "talk the talk and walk the walk", i believe consistency produces trust. i want to share my passion for sports and life with someone who appreciates the same and appreciates me for who i am and not what i have!
