/facepalm sorry...
Please talk about soccer please. Talk about soccer please...
i would say gaylord perry but the guy was a great player..
HAHAHAHA!
Richie Sexon?
I enjoy going to a game with one or more people, but I don't enjoy keeping up with the players or statistics or even team standings. It's just a very present thing with me and nothing more.
I remember when Rusty played for my Detroit Tigers and their big 1984 World Series win!
oh, and my favorite all time player is Sweet Lou Whitaker...
I get what you're saying
haha...anyway, I dig Rollie Fingers, that 'stache makes me envious, and I've got a damn good one!
Difficult to choose. So I don't. Fukdome and Razor Shines.
@Peridot21 -
hahahaha is a good start
@escaping_logic -
Well when I go to a minor league team around here the only things I remember is the experience and of course the beer...lots and lots and lots of beer. It's so dangerous for going to a ballpark that has all you can eat food and drink seating sections.
@RestlessButterfly -
I'll have to when it gets closer to the World Cup
@ThePrince -
I love the story about Perry and the moon-landing.
@MAXPAYNE4664 -
How could I forget Richie Sexson. I'll have to add some honorable mentions.
@curiousdwk -
Yeah I sometimes get fired up for the season but then like this season I am apathetic.
@bubblzinthed -
I need to go through all my baseball cards to see if I have any Rusty Kuntz cards because that was about when I started collecting. I remember back in the early 90s when the Tigers had a resurgence but fell short there were so many players on that team that I enjoyed...Cecil Fielder(father of one of my current faves, Prince), Rob Deer, and Mickey Tettleton whose batting style I mimicked during little league that year.
@NVPhotography -
When he was with the Brewers I loved Fingers and asked my dad to grow his mustache like Rollie.
@windoftheforest -
Alright those are good ones.
I remember when Johnson hit that bird with a 100mph pitch. thing blew up into nothing but feathers.
@TheGiantSlayer -
Oh I need to find that file. I remember after he did that ESPN had this montage of how birds got involved in baseball. I remember one in the late 80s/early 90s where a guy on the Toronto Blue Jays or maybe the visiting team deliberately threw a ball at a bird and killed it.
Have you visit this post? A xangan quoted your username as one of the Xangans she wanna have sex with... hehe

@godfatherofgreenbay - Heck... no. Her name is unfamiliar. Maybe one of your regular visitor.

Rusty Kuntz is my fave xD
Baseball is a dead sport... I've never taken an interest in it. I think it's only popular in the US because it has been too international.
@m_kabs -
Baseball is just a fun game for me anyway although my teams are planning like crap this year. I coached it and just have been around it my whole life. It was great bonding with my grandfather over baseball.
yep, i thought i saw this before... just wanted to double-check
@Peridot21 -
well thanks for stopping by to see the updated list
Without a doubt Rollie Fingers.. it's the moustashe.

I loved how back in the day every loaf of bread had promotional baseball cards. I have a collection of old school Brewer cards of Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, and Rollie Fingers among others.
George Brett (KC Royals) completely turned me off of baseball. After a run in with him, I was no longer a Royals fan, and abandoned any desire to watch baseball at all, shortly after that moment. I was in a McDonalds restaurant and I saw him standing at the counter. I scrounged up a pencil and a napkin and took it over to him and asked for his autograph. He was an asshole. I don't remember his exact words but he told me that he was there for food, not autographs and that I should try him at a game. The year was 1985. I was 10 years old and I LOVED baseball and George Brett had been my favorite until then. It was an awesome season that year (they went on to win the pennant). I actually had the oportunity to go to 4 games before that incident and George Brett was always the first one back to the lockers instead hanging out by the dugout to give autographs. I had tons of things in my room that read "I <3 Brett", so for a short time I decided that I would just transfer my affection over to Brett Saberhagen instead. That worked for a year or two, but I was still "sore" every time they mentioned George Brett getting up to bat and I would boo him. Eventually, I just stopped going because heckling wasn't as fun as cheering. To this day, when I drive or ride past the stretch of I-70 that is called "George Brett Super Highway", I think of the day when he will be dead and wonder if they will mix some of his ashes into the concrete so that once he's gone I can run him over and over and over and over and over.... <3 Suz

You know I have heard other stories like that of how baseball players act like that and I have heard stories of how Brett was a prick. At that time it wasn't like you had ebay where you could go sell his autograph. A few years ago I was at a wedding and it was pretty boring but it was downtown Milwaukee and the hotel where the wedding was being held just happened to be the hotel where the L.A. Dodgers were staying. I was in the bar and a couple of the players came in and we chatted. It was a pretty good time and those guys restored my faith in that pro-athletes could be approachable. When I was working in Wisconsin Dells, I had Scottie Pippen come in and he bought some sunglasses. I asked if he would sign an advertisement for the store and not for myself. He said, "You got my money and that's enough." At least my time hanging out with a pro-wrestler in the Dells was enjoyable but it's too bad he got in trouble for something that happened a day after our time together.
