Background:
Kyle grew up in a small town in the midwest. His father is a salesman at a local car dealership, his mother works at a flower shop, his sister is a student at the same college as his girlfriend, and his younger brother is a senior in high school.
Kyle has always been a good athlete, participating in a variety of sports while growing up including tennis, basketball, baseball, football, and track. His father would take the family to baseball games whenever he could. Sometimes it was a major league game, sometimes a minor league game, and even local college games. Kyle's father always taught his children to play fair in everything they do.
Even though Kyle has played many different sports, some better than others, he found he was best at playing baseball. He played primarily in the outfield in middle and high school. It wasn't until his senior year of high school that he tried pitching. His team was playing for a chance to get into the championship game and their pitcher got injured. Kyle volunteered to try it since there was no other pitchers available. To everyone's surprise, he pitched well. His team lost the game but the coach encouraged Kyle to continue to pitch as often as he could to improve his natural ability.
During the summer months, Kyle played for a local team sponsored by the town's Elks lodge. His pitching ability improved enough to earn him a spot on the pitching rotation for his college team.
Even though Kyle is an excellent baseball player and would jump at the chance to play for a major league team, he is realistic enough to know that his chances of that are slim. As such, he made sure his academic scores were very good throughout high school and college.
Kyle first became interested in history when his father would talk about the history of baseball. His father even took the family on a trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Kyle was fascinated by the old time players, their lives, and the parks they played in. From there, his interest in other areas of history grew as he learned how the history of baseball was interrelated to the history of the towns and cities where it was played. He started watching the History Channel on television, visiting historic battlefields, reading countless history books, and just talking to people and asking them questions about their lives.
Kyle was a junior in college when he met his current girlfriend. He had recently broken up with his high school sweetheart and went to visit his sister who was attending a nearby school. The two of them went out to dinner and just sat and talked about all sorts of things. When Kyle walked his sister back to her dorm, he met his sister's roommate Melissa. She was a sophomore like his sister. Kyle's sister introduced him to her. A couple of days later, Kyle's sister called him to tell him that her roommate thought he was cute and a nice guy. The following week, Kyle and Melissa went on a double date with his sister and her boyfriend. Kyle and Melissa soon started dating seriously. Now, Kyle is just about to graduate and is considering asking Melissa to marry him.
For now, he pays the bills by delivering pizzas and tutoring other students when he isn't busy with school or baseball. [/sblock]
