MLB Thread

[Shankster]

With what I’m seeing, we need a MLB thread.  We have college football, NFL, and College hoops covered… quite a few MLB fans.

Me personally, I grew up a legacy Tigers fan.  Although, in my travels I’ve really just been a baseball fan in general.  If the Tigers are in the hunt I’ll root for them, but other than that just show me some good plays.

I actually think it would be pretty cool to see a Yankees vs. Mets WS.

I am a Rays season member.  We are a baseball first household.  I played in High School and college, my son in High School and could have played in college but did the Navy thing instead - great career move.  I'm sure you've all seen lots of pictures of my wife, daughter and I at different ballparks - our summer vacation always swirls around baseball.

I'm a Rays fan, my wife a Yankees fan (I converted BTW) and daughter, Brewers/Rays.

Baseball has broken my heart, Rev.

A 162 game season that wins nothing but seeding in an unnecessary post season tournament.
[May as well be hockey.]

Thirty teams when thirty teams worth of major league quality players have never walked the earth at the same time.

Using the venerable terms American League and National League when NEITHER of those organizations
is an actual autonomous entity anymore. They completely disbanded in 2000.

Stupid special occasion uniforms to sell merch.

Ads on the uniforms.

Zombie runners in extra innings.

Pizza box size bases.

$140 for a ticket that cost me four bucks when I was a kid.
[And it's the same seat proportioned for 1912 size asses.]

More young kids are playing soccer than Little League.

I could go on and on.

I was a loyal Red Sox in the 1950s.
I've shaken Ted Williams' hand...more than once.
I've been to Fenway Park literally hundreds of times.

Now I can't even watch anymore.

Talk about becoming a "Get off my lawn" Boomer!
