I grew up a Yankee fan, but I switched to the Rays in recent years.

I’ve always watched quite a bit of Mets games originally living pretty close to the stadium.

The new rules fixed a lot of problems the game had, but challenging balls and strikes needed to be implemented full time or at least the playoffs.

Those new bats seem pretty sketchy; reminds me of those banned tennis rackets I’ve heard of in the 70’s.

O’s but I’m not a huge baseball fan. To be honest, I’ve seen the cubs twice in person and that’s the only team I’ve done that with.

The Texas Rangers moved here when I was 12 years old.The company my dad worked for had season tickets and the employees took turns using them.They lost over a hundred games that year so after a few weeks no one wanted the tickets so we got them just about every week.Especially the weekday games.My dad would pick me up right after work and we would get out there early enough to watch batting practice most games.I always liked watching that.Once we even talked to Ted Williams which was a little intimidating for a 12 year old.He seemed like an old bastard.Well the Rangers could never win it all and in 2011 they were one strike from winning the World Series and let it get away.They went downhill and within a couple years they were losing 100 games again.I decided they just were not going to win a World Series in my life time.Then 2 years ago out of freaking nowhere they got hot at exactly the right time and won the whole damn thing.My life as a fan is complete 😊

Cool story and good memories.

Ted Williams was great in his day.  He was also a Marine fighter pilot in the Korean War.

I wonder if his head is still in cryo-whatever-frozen?

He was the Rangers first manager and probably could have been their best hitter even in his 50s

Big 3 - Tigers, Braves and Yankees.

Can't stand the Red Sox and Padres.  Red Sox are far and away my least favorite.

Looks like Torkelson wants to act like a real MLB player finally.

It's been a terrific start for him.  Hard to believe we won a game with an outfield trio of McKinstry, Kriedler and Margo.  LOL.  Nice to see Casey Mize pitch like a number one pick finally.

Lifelong Reds fan but can't watch because Dish took away FoxCincinnati a few years ago. Not interested in watching other teams because baseball is a boring snooze fest.

My dad who I talked about in my post died in 97.In 2011 in game 6 when they were one pitch from winning it I said to my wife I wish my dad was here to see this.Then when they let it slip away in about the worst way you could I then told my wife I’m glad my dad’s not here to see this.

Phillies,  I visited this green cathedral many times as a youth starting in 1962.
