I haven't watched them much in the last few years but I still remember that World Series in 95 against the Indians, I cant believe it's been that long since they were there...Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079471254681821763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-31675842846595385542018-02-23T19:53:35.454-05:002018-02-23T19:53:35.454-05:00Thank you so much joeh.

My AAA Marlins don't hold much promise though we did beat the Cardinals today. One spring training game--I'll take it.

We'd stand outside the stadium after the game for autographs. I was only about 12 and I would never had let my kids go alone on a bus to the city at that age. Times were different then I guess. Lots of good memories.yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-35482029579510682962018-02-23T18:28:28.762-05:002018-02-23T18:28:28.762-05:00Both my brothers are staunch Yankee fans -- not al...Both my brothers are staunch Yankee fans -- not always a popular choice in New England, land of the Red Sox.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692441479616299920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-23448740130157048462018-02-23T16:01:54.647-05:002018-02-23T16:01:54.647-05:00I love baseball. 2nd generation SF Giant fan.

His company has season tickets to the Texas Rangers and their farm team, the Frisco RoughRiders, too. I told him to save his Ranger tickets and take someone who likes baseball. I enjoy the RR games because they are just a couple of miles from where I live, the ballpark food is actually very good, plus I get to catch up with my friend outside of working hours. He's a nice guy and we get a chance to reminisce and just have fun. Sometimes I even look up and watch the game. *wink* Enjoy your season.Lowandslowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08608734222483888884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-32601221824163605052018-02-23T11:09:06.670-05:002018-02-23T11:09:06.670-05:00Hubby and I aren't into sports at all.

(insert sarcastic font, lest I get chastised)<br />I think my interest in Baseball sort of fell to the wayside after the "strike". What was that, 1995? Just sort of lost respect for guys who wanted so many more bags of money to go with the bags and bags of money they already had. I mean, if it had to do with "concussion protocol" or some such thing, maybe I would have been more understanding.

I don't have to live with my heroes - they just have to be good at whatever I admire them for. Fortunately, my top tier heroes have turned out to maybe be jerks, but jerks who haven't ended up secretly drugging 40 women or anything... so far. <br /><br />But even if they did, I might still listen to their music or read their books.
