    Huge baseball fan (Yankees). But I can watch little league or even play in an all day round robin tournament and have a blast! When we lived in Dallas we would go the Rangers games and I would be the 1st car in the parking lot. We would sit through batting practice and talk to players. And stay until the fireworks were done. On my bucket list is going to a Yankees game at home. I drove to Detroit a few weeks ago to catch 2 Yankees games. Needless to say my Jeter jersey almost got drenched with beer after we won the Sunday afternoon game!!!

    Yeah, pretty much everyone does that doesn't have connections to Chicago hates the Cubs too.

    My brother is a HUGE cubs fan, and he lives in North Dakota...he's all about Chicago teams though for some reason...hate MN teams.

    Strange, I know. I grew up in North Dakota, but only followed the Fighting Sioux hockey team.

    ^THIS.
    I think we could be brothers..... except for the Yankees part (lol). There's nothing like the sights, sounds, cheers, and groans of a ballpark bustling with fans.

    Yankee fan here. Love baseball. We watch the game each and every night. I have the ESPN app on my phone that texts me every time a run scores. So it keeps me updated when we cannot watch a game. {which is taped anyway}

    Love baseball. Huge Atlanta Braves fan and attend quite a few of our local minor league teams games each season (they are the AA affiliate of the Miami Marlins). One of my bucket list items is to take a summer road trip that lets me see a game in every major league stadium.

    Baseball at any level is the best, most beautiful and perfect game ever. The Pirates are my fav. I also love going to Altoona and Erie to watch the minor leagues. I have visited 13 MLB parks and 3 minor league parks so far <3

    (But a great double play with 1 out and a man on 3rd is still a great double-play no matter what the uniform....get my meaning?)

    Love baseball and we even plan a vacation around Spring Training in Arizona. Great way to spend the day...sunshine...fans...and baseball. Most excellent. :-)

    I am a big fan of live baseball I love the whole ball game atmosphere...we have a minor league team where I live and some of my fondest memories are going to the games with my dad. I love college baseball especially my Hogs I can listen/watch be there live at any time. I am biased but I believe we have one of the best college announcers for baseball :) I like MLB as I grew up a cardinals fan but have a hard time watching a complete game on TV though my son will sit and watch baseball for hours

    This is where I spent Wednesday afternoon, does that answer the question?

    And I'm heading out shortly to watch my 15 year old play at 6pm, then my 12 year old at 8pm. Nothing better than drinking a cold beer and watching a baseball game.

    I LOVE BASEBALL... I love playing it still everytime there is a chance.. I refuse to play softball yet.. not that is not fun, just not the same as fast ball, it does not matter what level I am playing with.. as long as there is adrenaline fielding and everything that comes with the game..

    I love Baseball. I am a die hard Yankees fan. I also love that my 10 yr old son loves it too. He has been playing since he was 4. I think I am the loudest mom out there. LOL

    Detroit Tigers all the way! I cried when they released Brandon Inge's contract, but he's doing well with the A's. Moneyball gives me chills because of the perspective it takes on the sport...such romance :P

    Seeing your favorite team at home is incredible! I've spent so much money on flights and tickets going up to NY from Miami to see them play, it's ridiculous! I scratched off two things off my bucket list in 2009 when I went to go see them at home AND during the World Series. I went to games 1 and 2 in the Bronx. My dad bought me tickets for my birthday (Oct. 25th) as long as I agreed to pay for the flight and hotel. I can't even begin to describe how amazing it was to be in there (even though they lost the first game!)

    I'm a die-hard Yankee fan and a HUGE fan of the sport itself. My dad never had any boys (I'm the baby out of 5 girls) so I kind of became the son he never had when I showed an interest in playing when I was little. He use to play little league all the way up through high school and ALMOST got scouted. He was a left-handed pitcher. You could barely play catch with the man. He even had a no hitter at the age of 12 :smile: It was scary catching for him but it was his persistence and coaching that made me a pretty badass catcher! I played all through high school and some college. Now, I'm thinking about joining a local co-ed softball team in my neighborhood. I can't stay away from it too long!

    I love baseball! I went to the Twins-Royals game at Target Field on Saturday night for my birthday (even
    though it was hot and ridiculously humid). Hey, I even saw Joe Mauer hit a rare home run at Target Field!

    I grew up playing softball and was around baseball a lot. I have a cousin who played in the Texas Rangers organization (and made some pitching appearances for the Rangers in 1991 and 1992). He was also the pitching coach for the Florida Marlins when they won the World Series back in 2003.

    Astros fan. I love going to baseball games. I love everything about the atmosphere from "Dome Dogs" (for my fellow Houstonians) to the beer, peanuts, and 7th inning stretch. We bet on where each ball will be hit.

    My son served Andy Pettitte at Fuddruckers last night and had no idea who he was. Disappointed baseball mom.

    I've heard of "Dome Dogs" when the Twins used to play in the Metrodome.

    Bummer on not recognizing Andy Pettitte, though!

    I love baseball...I hate the fact that the closest MLB teams to Reno are the A's & Giants. I miss my Phillies...the last game I went to was at the Vet, for cryin' out loud! :cry:

    It's so hard not to adore,love and cherish baseball. despite the money, it remains truly american to the core. An afternoon at wrigley, or even better, and evening at a Minor league game is what the REAL america is that very few people get to see, despite the advent of the McChicken sandwich arena type ball-parks..it's tradition makes it a national institution.
