10 Most Fleeting Love Affairs of All-Time.
So, here we go:
1. Baseball. As Brad Pitt says in Moneyball, “It’s hard not to be romantic about baseball.” I agree. Growing up, little league was my life, the big leagues were my dreams, and Topps trading cards were my economy.

2. The Baltimore Colts. I was a kid devastated on that Day of Infamy, March 29, 1984, when the moving trucks rolled out of Baltimore in the snow, carrying away the blue-and-white gear that I had on posters all over my bedroom. This love affair left me feeling used, abandoned, and taken for granted. I was only 13-years old and I had suffered my first relational breakup.
I’ve often likened “momentum” to a locomotive… once it’s moving at 75 mph it can plow straight through a six-foot thick wall of concrete, reducing it to dust. But that same locomotive sitting idle on the track can be held motionless by the tiniest little four-inch block sitting on the tracks in front of it.
