Season's started. It's kinda strange to be in a state without an actual ball team. My boss grew up watching the Cubs, another boss the Braves, and another is a freaking Yankees fan - because "Well if I'm gonna pick a team to be a fan of, I may as well pick the one that wins the most!" pft. I tease him relentlessly.
Last year around September or October I told myself I was done with MLB. I spent too much time watching games that could have been spent doing more productive things. However, I caught my first spring training game of the year on tv a month ago. I saw the grass, the jerseys, the sounds - and I bought my year-long subscription to MLB.TV the next day
I'm from Missouri initially, a Cardinals fan all my life - and still am. I enjoy watching the Astros and the Rangers, but am not sure which to adopt as my secondary fandom... I guess with Berkman on the Cardinals roster now *barf* I could be an Astros fan
My dad's dad was an iron worker until retirement, and he was there for the building of Busch Stadium II / Busch Memorial Stadium. It sucked watching it be torn down but the new park is glorious. I've been to it for games twice, now, and both times it was rained out. I drive/fly 900 miles to get to STL from here and get rained out. Hoping 3rd time's a charm, and that I can make it this year.
Otherwise I'll have to settle for Minute Maid Park!
How's everyone's outlook for the beginning of the year with their team?
