Try WNBA

In a previous blog and in stories on News 12 Connecticut, I've tried to figure out which baseball team southwestern Connecticut should cheer for: the New York Yankees or the the Boston Red Sox. Of course Yankee stadium is closer to us here in southwestern Connecticut, plus its usually easier to hear Yankees games on the radio or see them on TV. On the other hand, the Red Sox is New England's team, and historically Connecticut is considered New England. However, I've found most die-fans are reared. All it takes is a few trips to the stadium as a child, and a family tradition is born. I'll pose another dilemma. Should people in southwestern Connecticut root for the WNBA's New York Liberty or Connecticut Sun? The distance between where these two teams play isn't as great as Yankee Stadium to Fenway. The New York Liberty play at Madison Square Garden, about 48 miles from Norwalk. The Connecticut Sun play at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, about 80 miles from Norwalk. Since the WNBA is celebrating its 10th season, the league hasn't been around long enough to build generations of fans, so take your pick! If you haven't watched much women's basketball, now may be a good time to take in a few games. The NBA season is over- and America is out of the World Cup - plus, you can get an inside look at how these professional women train in my "Living Fit" reports on News 12 Connecticut. Tomorrow beginning at noon, find out what the first thing   #24 Megan Mahoney does after practice. Then tomorrow night, both the Connecticut Sun and the New York Liberty play at home. It's Connecticut vs. the Houston Comets and New York against the Charlotte Sting.
