Part 6 - Interlude concerning commentating and the Boston Red Sox

"Is commentate a transitive verb? No! The expression is 'comment on,' It should be 'commenter' just as one who dissents is a dissenter and not a dissentator." 

Isaac Asminov 

Although Nate read quite extensively when he was coming up, he never really considered a career in writing to be something he might want to aspire to or pursue as a means of expression even if his dreams of being a baseball player, detective, or marine biologist fell through. One thing that is true however is that when he was younger, he made practice of constantly beginning stories in his head and had always been something of a teller of tales, an exaggerator, a quiet observer of things and one who, for one reason or another, came to view the world as someone who wanted to write might. Nate's infatuation with beginnings lingers to this day and becomes a little more understandable when he considers his childhood and a time when he, like many boys before and since, begin to commentate.

What the Hey, maybe I'll take a gander at the the rest of this story I've got nothing better to do
