Breakdown:
Dr. Crab was born in Queens, NY and spent the first 10 years of his
life living on Long Island. Kids at that time treated the Yankees as
if they were a religion. Spring training games were like candy and
were followed up by pounding a tennis ball down the street.
At 10 the good Doctor (then but an intern) moved to Suburban Maryland,
just north of DC. DC was a completely different sports landscape where
football was King. The Redskins were winning Super Bowls. The
neighborhood kids were tossing around the K2, drawing up plays on
their chests and inadvisably tackling sans helmets.
Eventually Dr. Crab was to attend college at Wesleyan University. He
graduated with an English major and has channeled his love of sports
into a column fresh from the Crab-pot to you. Enjoy it with Old Bay…
