I'm from Cincy, so I have to root for the Reds. Plus we've actually gotten pretty good in the last few years. Usually I'll listen to the games online. Most Reds fans listen to the game on the radio. Even if it's on T.V. the tube gets muted to listen to Marty Brennamen (sp?).

Native Michigander, so of course a Tigers fan. And nobody had a better broadcaster than the Tigers with the late, great Ernie Harwell. When he was teamed with Paul Carey,it was just icing on the cake.

My dad was a Brooklyn Dodger fan so it was impossible to ever be a NY Yankee (evil empire) fan.
When the NY Mets came on the scene in the early 60's he became a fan and from birth I have been one too! LOL

Nope don't like it, and I just don't understand why they don't eliminate the huge amount of error in officiating and judgement that is inherent in baseball. With todays technology, they could electronically determine whether or not the ball is actually in the strike zone or not. Human error of judgement is overwhelming, and each mistake in judgement can/could/does change the course of the outcome of the game..just doesn't make sense at all to me. :crazy:

Keep things as they are. If it weren't for poor officiating the Cubs wouldn't win at all! But I love 'em still.

Another die-hard Rangers fan. Until our first 2010 World Series loss, we had won exactly one playoff game. When your team sucks is when they need you the most. Was at Kenny Rogers' perfect game in 1994; the fourteenth at the time (thank you Rusty Greer). I may be banned though; last game I went to I sat in the fourth row behind 1st, and a foul ball hit the empty chair on my left. Was wearing my glove and everything. I would have been on the Jumbotron for catching a foul while not just holding, but drinking a beer. It just didn't occur to me to stick out my left hand. Use DRPEPPER or VERIZON as the coupon code for some good ticket deals this year ($10 or half-price seats). If you want to buy some beers, take out a loan first.

Lifetime Oakland a's fan. I use to ditch school, ride the train to the stadium and get in for $2 if I brought a soda can. Went to most of the 2001 season (moneyball). Still a die hard fan even though we often battle for the basement lol.

Red Sox and Tigers fan here. Was always a big Red Sox fan when I was younger. Now that I'm "older", I've gravitated to the home team a bit (I'm a life long Michigander). I bought a replica of the 1939 Red Sox ball cap last fall, just before their plummet. I can't help but think my hat has been a jinx. :( :lol:

I just enjoy watching baseball. Wish I had a state pro team.
You're in Alabama, home of the SEC tournament, which is way better than any pro ball! That's like watching the future stars of tomorrow in the most competitive tournament around
