Sabres Fan in NS Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 I grew up in The Great Satan, so I fell in love with the Jays once they started to field a good enough team to win some games .. around 1984. Prior to that I was a Yankee fan .. yikes !! I have always has a special place in my heart for the Expos too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad and I watched around 145 games per year together from about 1992 until I moved out in 2003. Even then, I'd still call him whenever anything cool happened in a game. It didn't even have to be a big game, could have been a cool sliding catch in June. Paul O'Neill is my only favorite player in any sport. The distain he had for his own failure is probably my favorite quality in an athlete. 1996 World Series is my favorite sports memory. After that it's the 03 NCAA Basketball Championship. The Baseball Hall of Fame is the greatest museum on planet Earth. I can easily spend 5 hours inside and not get sick of looking at the awesomeness in there. Re: The Baseball Hall of Fame I live nearby and we have a membership. I go several times a year with my wife and kids and I see something new every time. Seriously love that place. My favorite time to go is on a late afternoon in winter. You can sit quietly in the plaque gallery while the sun sets. It’s peaceful. You usually have the whole space to yourself. I highly recommend it. Oh, and I’m a Detroit Tigers fan. Like most of you guys, I’m a western New Yorker without a hometown team to root for. Picked up the Tigers when I was about 8 years old. Been rooting for them from a distance for about 35 years now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average fan age is still mid 60s, and that is a major problem. Is this a fact? Seems nearly impossible. For every 20yo fan you'd need 3 or 4 80yo old fans. Not what I'm seeing at the Jays games I go to. The games are better now. More balls in play, less dead time. I don't see it overtaking the NFL by any stretch, but I think baseball is here to stay.

It's now very common for games that start at the same time to end withing a few minutes of each other. You can now easily fit a baseball game in a 3 hour time window with little chance of it running over. I think having the pitch clock (and batter's box clock) enforced immediately by awarding a ball for an offending pitcher or a strike for an offending batter is particularly satisfying. Immediate, tangible consequences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted Saturday at 09:52 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 09:52 PM Bichette having a fantastic year, though. Has *16 more* hits than anyone else in AL. Leads Jays in OPS, AVG (.335), Runs, RBI, HR, and Hits (76). A bright spot for sure so far. Gotta find a way to lock him up LT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierDaddy Posted yesterday at 12:46 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:46 AM Cincinnati Reds. I loved the Yankees until I moved to Cincinnati. Living in a town with a team is different. I can go to multiple games a year and follow the team all summer. So I dove all the way in. Needless to say, it was a bad decision. Thankfully the Bills are pretty good right now, because other than that my teams are the IU Hoosiers, Pacers, Sabres, Reds, and Leeds United. That’s a lot of losing. It’s enough to make one stop watching sports all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted yesterday at 03:40 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 03:40 AM Rangers with their best start in franchise history, and the second best record in baseball. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
