who likes baseball...............and what team do they like the most...............and what player do you like...................

I love my beloved White Sox--even tho we truly suck this year.

My favorite player is AJ--always a laugh a minute.

I like the Nashville Napsterbaters!

i like the yankees

i like the yankees
So you mean to say you're not a baseball fan, then?

The Yankees have ruined and continue to ruin baseball. I hope dearly they fail to make the playoffs.

how have the yankees ruined baseball?

what are you talking about............the yankess rule

how have the yankees ruined baseball?
Mainly through the doings of Steinbrenner, baseball is turning into merely the buying of great teams rather than the great game it once was. Baseball has never been about money; it's a shame that it is now.

do you like that team

While the Yankees have by far the most pennants and championships , lately they've been slipping.

This tends to make the other fans very very happy.

Back in the day, early 1960's, the Yankees were so dominant it wasn't funny.
Yet, guess who regularly out-drew them in terms of fans actually buying tickets and attending games?

The lowly, laughable Mets, one of the worst teams of all time.

P S. Successful teams are, by and large, dull. Winning TOO much makes for apathy on the fans' part too.

Well, I don't know---back in the early days, some of the owners made Andrew Carnegie look downright saintly.

Charles Comiskey, cheap, jerky owner of the White Sox, was such a tightfisted cheapskate that, despite being loaded, he actually made the players buy their own uniforms.

He also promised his starters a "big" reward if they won the pennant that year.
Their reward was a case of cheap wine you couldn't GIVE away to a Bowery Bum.

Lastly, he promised his ace, Eddie Cicotte, a $10,000 bonus if he won 30 games . After Eddie won 29 games, Comiskey took him out of the lineup.

Lord, no WONDER the Black Sox threw the Series. They did it for money!

ok kool

Big Indians fan...hoping we don't barely miss the playoffs again like in 2005. ;/

we have a lot of baseball fans out there

I'm a die hard Dodger and Angel fan
The biggest recent thrill I've had is when the Angels kicked the arrogant Yankees ass on their way to a championship. It was sure nice to see the cheapest team in the playoffs whoop the best team money could buy.
And all Jeter could say was WTF?

come to think of it, Boston did a pretty good job of putting a stiff one to them too.

:mad: my team lost this afternoon..................:mad:

Everything that Borg has been saying is dead on. Baseball is dead to me. It's also boring and not as exciting as it was when I was a kid.

...Also cause the Royals have sucked it up for a long time.

my team lost this afternoon:mad:

....nice to know.

my team lost this afternoon:mad:
Note, students, a typical Yankee fan specimen, this one in the wild. Note its dismay at its team's loss, as if it can think of nothing but winning and losing. This, students, is endemic of the atmosphere for Yankees fans, where winning is more important than having fun. Thus is the era of Steinbrenner.

Braves, since I was about 5 years old, and for life :)

Cleveland is the exact opposite. We like to brag about how many times our teams have completely collapsed in the playoffs.

University of Texas Baseball!

I absolutely hate the Braves, and in fact it was the Braves that turned me off to baseball for life when they moved from Milwaukee to Atlanta when they realized they could make more money there. As a perceptive child, I realized that it was all a business, and that the owners wanted only one thing from the fans - money. Loyalty is all one way in baseball, and is just a marketing tool.

sure is a lot of baseball fans out there

Detroit Tigers since I was little. We listened to the games on the radio back in the 60's. I went to high school with Kirk Gibson, who played for the Tiger's right out of college.
