Baseball IS the best sport ever & if you don't agree you don't like drama & or have never played it / don't understand how hard it actually is.
This btw is a very sore subject for me. I definitely don't like the direction, politics & hypocrisy of MLB baseball over the last couple of years & I'm nearing another divorce from it like back in '94. I'll leave it at that because I don't want to go full Negative Nancy on you here on glorious thread. I will still support other forms ie Little League for example.
I fell in love listening to games on the radio growing up & went crazy for it in '87 when I went to my 1st playoff game vs STL which was also ironically the last year I played organized ball. Was in the Parking Lot for Game 3 of the '89 WS but didn't get in because of the Quake & had to wait until 2010 to get a chance to return to a WS game.
If you've ever been to a game & didn't have fun guess what? You went with the wrong people!!
Been to over 1,000 games.
Most of them in SF at both Candlestick & PacBell. I've also been on the road to root my team on @ the Oakland Coliseum, Dodger Stadium (best hot dogs-dont tell anyone I said that), Anaheim Stadium, Jack Murphy, Petco (saw Barry hit #755 there), Milwaukee County Stadium (friendliest fans ever), Wrigley Field & Busch Stadium. Seen games at Fenway (what is that smell) & Old Comisky too but unfortunately the Giants weren't playing. (Really would like to catch a game at Coors Field & PNC at some point)
Even the best band EVER were huge baseball fans...and I'm not just saying that because Geddy wore a "Pitch to Barry" shirt either.
