I'm more than excited!
I've loved baseball since I was a kid when we took jr. high school field trips to see Cubs games. I used to watch the afternoon games after school. I knew every player by name, and I'm old enough to remember watching them on a black & white TV.
(shhhh!) I haven't lived in the Chicago area since 1974, but the Cubs will always have a place in my heart.
Lived in TX for almost 20 years, and never got into the Rangers - but I was busy raising my son. They weren't a great team at the time anyway.
Moved to the west coast of MI in 2001. Going to a game in Detroit has never been an option, half a day's drive was/is too far for a game.
My significant other is a Tampa Bay fan, so I've rooted for them for several years. A nice group of kids that really want to win.
Thank god I still get "Extra Innings" on Char**r cable. This was in question since the end of last seson, when it was reported that only satellite TV would carry the 2010 season games. Satellite TV sucks, I've heard, when the dish is buried under 2 feet of snow lol. Baseball is seasonal, but having decent reception during our winter hibernation period is mandatory
Char**r cable came
through though, and offered Extra Innings in my area again this year.
Anyway, no mater who you root for....Hooray for Baseball!!!
There's no other sport that compares to the excitement of everything changing with one stroke of a well-directed bat!
designated hitter and inter league play !!
