You don't have to have a city or team, nor do you have to watch the professionals to love the great game of baseball. Louisiana is crazy about baseball on the lower levels (we have no MLB team) - from Little League to our AAA Zephyrs.

Growing up going to the ball field was something that I assumed everyone did.

So.... who loves the game? (You don't have to say who your favorite team is, as if that qualifies you as a lover of the game... Most people who attend baseball games love their team and city much more than the game itself.)

    i do love baseball. I particularly love playoff baseball because of the small nuances that make a difference. I am more of a fan of National League baseball (in MLB) because of the added strategy to deal with the pitcher in the batting order.

    I am a baseball fanatic. From going to the games, playing the games (I play on a vintage baseball team), the history, the unwritten rules and great stories and memories.

    I never used to be a Baseball fan...but then I started dating my SO and the rest is history.... He LOVES the game. He has played both competitive hardball and slo-pitch... We always make an effort to go to at least a bare minimum of 5 or 6 Blue Jay games for the season (which is difficult because he goes away every other weekend for baseball tournaments himself! LOL). I have spent the last 10 years of my life watching, learning, playing and even growing to love the game!

    I've been a baseball fan as long as I can remember. I loved playing it as a kid and was fortunate to continue playing a few years past high school. Whenever I travel for business, the first thing I do is check for a game in whatever city I will be traveling.

    I wouldn't say that I am a fanatic, however, I do enjoy watching the Cincinnati Reds. I was in college when the Big Red Machine ruled baseball. They have had their tough times, too, over the years but they have always been my favorite team. I do appreciate, though, great players of rivals such as, Derek Jeter, Josh Hamilton and Albert Pujols to name a few.

    I'm a baseball fan ever since the day my father took me watch the Astros vs. Reds in the Dome when I was knee high to a june bug. Met Johnny Bench and Pete Rose at breakfast the morning of the game. Pete was an absolutely pr*ck and wouldn't sign a thing. He even told me to "get the F out of here kid". I'll never forget that as long as I live.

    Bench, on the other hand, called me to him and signed my glove without hesitation, then proceeded to tell Pete "You're an a-hole. He's just a kid."

    I'm a Red Sox fan and Astros fan. Rarely watch games, these days, but I when I get the chance, I'm watching.
