Synopsis

Hi! I’m Big Lo. You may have seen me around CenturyLink Field, or maybe at some other sports event. My nickname is Big Lo because I’m kind of a big guy! Actually, Sam Perkins, the former Seattle SuperSonic, dubbed me Big Lo. I’m 6’8”, and these days I weigh 365 pounds, but I wasn’t always this thin. I’ll tell you all about that later in this book, but for now what I really want to say is that I’m glad you’re reading this because I think there’s a lot of good stuff in here, not just about me, but also about our Seattle teams. I’ll bet you and I are similar in a lot of ways, because we both like sports, and we love our teams and the athletes on those teams, and somehow sports mean a lot to you, just like they do to me. You and I, we have the power, Fan Power, and what that means to me is that we can do good for our teams, and just as importantly, we can do good for our communities and ourselves. When you read this book, you’ll see what I mean. Just to let you know, this book is not only about me. It’s also about you and me, and what we can do to help each other, help those around us, and to make the lives of the people we meet better in every way we can. You and I, we have passion, and lots of energy! With that power and strength come the opportunity and even the obligation to bring goodness, health, support, and love to the people we know and the people we don’t know who need our love and support. I used to be a hellion, but everything changed for me as I got older and smarter. This is my story, but it’s really about all of us because I believe each one of us has a story of challenge, change, and the chance to grow better and brighter. Thank you for reading my story. If you see me in the stands, or at a fundraising event, or on the street, please come up and say hi. I’d love to meet you and shake your hand. Best wishes today and always, Big Lo.

About this title

About the Author

If you haven’t met Big Lo, now is the perfect time. Big Lo belongs to that unusual set of people known as Super Fans. A Super Fan is a person who goes out of their way to support their team and encourage the other fans in the stadium to “show the love”. Well known in Seattle, Big Lo is often interviewed by sports reporters for his opinions, and at one time Big Lo had his own broadcast program. Big Lo is so popular, he has his own action figure and has appeared in commercials with Russell Wilson and Ichiro. Most fans specialize in supporting just one team, but Big Lo shows no favorites. He is a Super Fan of the Seahawks, the Mariners, the Sounders, the Storm, and both the Huskies and the Cougars. He was also a huge supporter of the SuperSonics when they were in town. Big Lo is known and appreciated by Dennis Rodman, P. Diddy, Matt Hasselbeck, and Samuel L. Jackson, to name a few. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live for the love of sports, be a leader in the army of the 12th Man, win the lottery, be attacked by flesh-eating parasites, invent the D-Fence sign (yes!) and later invent the Sea-Fence sign, be the subject of an ESPN documentary, and be loved by thousands of fans, then... This book is for you! You’ll learn the inside story of what it’s like to see sports through the eyes of one of Seattle’s best known Super Fans! This is a great gift idea for Christmas or birthday gifts, for the sports fans in your family, and for your own reading pleasure.
