    I absolutely LOVE to see home runs hit, grand slams are better but any home run makes me smile...go Braves!! ????

    As Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine would say...chicks dig the long ball.

    I love baseball...I lived in Tampa most of my life. Grew up watching the Braves on TBS but became a die hard Rays fan in '98 when I got to go to their inaugural game.

    Played baseball from when I was five all the way through college. Favorite aspect is the pitching battle between the hitter and pitcher. Watching how a pitcher changes speeds and locations and varies the looks each at bat is my favorite part. Also, I love the aspect of following your team for 162 games. You really get "to know" the announcers and the players and theirs kind of a more in depth look at the team you get than with other sports.

    Not a whole lot I don't love about baseball, other than the length of time and with schedule I can't seem to watch enough of it.

    Cheers to a Rays and Braves world series!

    I like going to games with my old college friends at AT&T park. Beautiful location, garlic fries, and enthusiastic friends who know the game!

    so this GO GIANTS!

    my dad would take me to giants games when i was a little girl and try and teach me how to keep the stats. i never had the head for it, but it was always a bonding time for me and my dad. its funny that my dad and always bonded over sports, given that i was never good at playing them lol. to this day if one of us gets tickets we always ask the other to come with.

    I enjoy trying to guess what the pitcher will throw next and I like watching pitchers set up certain hitters.

    There's an old story from when Greg Maddux was pitching - I think during his second tenure with the Cubs. As I remember it: He called the 3b over before the batter stepped into the box, advising him to be alert, because the batter was likely to pop out in 3b-line foul territory on the 3rd pitch. He predicted the AB perfectly.
