Okay, I know my buddy Jody Carver loves baseball but, with spring training in gear and the MLB season only a month away, who else is a fan of our National Pastime and the "boys of summer"?

Twins fan here, since 1960.

Cardinals! Who somehow were shutout by that team from (gasp!) Boston.

Yankees 60's
Red 70's
Braves ever since

I lost five bucks to my bartender when he bet me Kansas City would beat the Cardinals in 85 when the Cards were already ahead four games in The World Series.

In the summer I set the PSG up in the living room and watch the game while I practice.[This message was edited by Frank Parish on 04 March 2005 at 05:27 AM.]

Been a die-hard Indians fan for a long time, but Shapiro and the Dolenz' have destroyed the team.

Now that Charlie Manuel is at the helm with the Phils and Thome is sluggin' away, I'm becoming a Phillies fan for the first time since I was a kid.

Of course, gotta love those Yankee killin' Red Sox!

I've been a frustrated Texas Ranger fan since they came here in '72. We always have the Yankees and Red Sox to get pas t when playoff time comes. Maybe someday before I die, they will win a pennant.

Cubs all the way. Nuthin' like Wrigley Field in the summertime with a beer and a bag o'peanuts.
Beware the bleecher creatures.

Since my team (the Pirates) has been struggling lately, I'd thought some humor may fit in here....

Differnces between Men and Women.

"If a woman has to choose between catching a fly
ball and saving an infant's life, she will choose to
save the infant's life without even considering if
there is a man on base."

Steel Guitar and Baseball? Are you kidding? I am already playing catch, too old to run though.

Matt Steindl · Post by **Matt Steindl** » 2 Mar 2005 8:17 am

Die hard Cubs fan here. I watch or listen to about 80% of the games. I like NFL, NHL(doh!), hate NBA......but nothing compares to the boys of Summer.

It is truly a thinking mans game, and it takes a certain zen understanding to really get it.

Will be in FL next week, hoping to catch some spring ball.

GEAUX CUBS!!!!!!!!!

Lifelong hardcore Red Sox fan, obviously had a good year last year. I have to confess, after '86, I was convinced I wouldn't live to see them go all the way. Very happy to be wrong, I can live in peace now.

Ben Slaughter · Post by **Ben Slaughter** » 2 Mar 2005 9:43 am

Oh my, two of my favorite things in the world!!! Lifelong, diehard, and suffering Kansas City Royals fan (and MO native). Prospects don't look good this year according to the experts, but hope springs eternal.

Speaking of the greatest game ever invented, did anyone catch CMT Crossroads with John Fogerdy and Keith Urban? Did you see the baseball bat guitar Fogerdy played when he did "Centerfield"? I want one! Maybe a baseball bat lap steel????

Sadly, no steel guitar...

Larry said it all when he posted...

BROOKLYN DODGERS with Campanella, Erskine, Furillo, Snider, Hodges, Reese, Robinson,Clem Labine, Newcombe, Sandy Amoros Joe Black, Karl Spooner....those were the days EBBETS FIELD
where the Duke of Flatbush used to cream that ball and hit the window of the auto dealership on Bedford Ave. Thanks..edited how did I ever forget that great glove man at third base Billy Cox.The sign in right field that read "Hit Sign Win Suit" an advertisement by
Abe Starke clothing store..no one ever hit the sign while Carl Furillo patrolled right field..The Great Dodgers of which there are no more.

You bet...Thanks for the memories[This message was edited by Jody Carver on 04 March 2005 at 08:08 AM.]

Once the Rockies are mathematically eliminated (tomorrow sometime), It's YANKEES all the way...

I'm with Larry and Jody: Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field. After they abandoned us in New York, I kinda lost heart and interest in the game. They tried to replace them with TWO separate teams, but it didn't work for me.

Padre fan since the Pacific Coast League days!!! By the way, Ted Williams started his baseball career with the Padres in the 30's....rj
