Any Baseball Fans?
Way off topic to the site, but any Baseball fans here?
I know for sure a Dodger fan is among us... KC Royals -- True Blue. Laugh all you want, but it's the first season start of 2-0 for 28 years! Pitching is finally in the top 10. Tickets -- still cheap :D Tonight, they had an awesome giveaway: first 20,000 fans received a replica player jersey. It retails for $90, and 5 family members got one each for free :) Here's the problem: high 20's wind chill! Not baseball Weather, but a fun night. We lost to the Twins, but fun anyway. I've never been into sports, but the last couple of years have fostered a love for Baseball. Being able to travel for work, I'm starting to "collect" parks (sponsor names change, but here's the list so far of games attended...) Royals (Kauffman Stadium) -- Home field Boston Fenway Cleveland Indians ("The Jake") St. Louis Cardinals Texas Rangers (Not many, but that's the fun: the potential ;)) The Twins are next on the list -- a visit to Twin Cities for the weekend against Boston. Who do you root for? RH77 |
I have to root for the home team don't I? The Brewers? :eek:
After that, I'm rooting for a snowball in hell. |

San Francisco Giants fan since 1974-ish. The perfect radio-sport for driving. A few nights ago Bengie Molina smacked a game-winning home run in the bottom of the 11th as I was pulling into my driveway. The next night, while I was going East on the 60, Dan Ortmeier hit a game winning double in the bottom of the 9th for a 1-0 win. The wins will probably be few and far between this year, so I gotta remember the good ones, :o . In LA I can get the following stations : AM 680 KNBR - Giants, only at night, depending on the weather AM 1090 XX - Padres AM 790 KABC - Dodgers, :mad: AM 830 KLAA - Angels (2002 = :mad:) Because of where I am, I've seen lots of Dodger games over the years. I used to post on Usenet on this forum : rec.sport.baseball.teams.giants It had the legendary Gregg Pearlman, long suffering Gints fan among Gints fans : http://eeeeeegp.blogspot.com/ Might go see the quakes this summer : Rancho Cucamonga Quakes http://www.rcquakes.com And don't forget, Ya Gotta Have a Program!!!!!!

I'm not a baseball fan, but driving by the Angel's stadium during the world series was pretty wild. I think everyone in my extended family but me loves (Angels) baseball. I don't know what it is with me and sports. I played football all throughout high school, but hell if I can watch anything sports related on TV or real life. :o |

Since the PGH Pirates have have had 14 straight years under .500 I don't think will be paying much attention to them this year. Uhgh I am getting angry just typing this. The Pirates are a joke.
Go Penguins! Its hockey playoff time ya know. |

Sadly, we have no hockey in KC :( We had the "Outlaws" minor league team to follow a couple years back, and the 'Blades' before that, but we can't hang on to them. We have to drive 4-hours to StL to catch a Blues game. We went about a month or so ago, and they absolutely stunk (vs. the San Jose Sharks). Learn to pass! :mad: Otherwise, it's TV hockey, which isn't like being there, but I'll catch a playoff game now and then. But I'll agree -- go Pens! I usually root for Detroit (first NHL game I attended) but they have quite the legacy. RH77 |
I don't know if this is professional only but I'm more of a college fan. It's fun to watch games played for the love of the game. Go Aggies:thumbup:
