Our Alma Mater won the last College World Series at Rosenblatt park and the first CWS at the new Ameritrade Center.<br /><br />I know that I wouldn't enjoy watching a game in person. I am much more comfortable at home thanks to allergies, shyness, and old lady issues that make lots of things inconvenient. <br /><br />I'm glad that you've both come to love American baseball.

We have been to one game - it was fun to watch but I don't need to do so more than every couple of years ;) I too grew up not watching much sports - sometimes the cricket or tennis if the weather was too hot to do anything other than flop in front of the television.<br />Regards<br />Anne from BallaratAnne Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17970750528434435027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467755462563450085.post-50573749286621817382014-04-03T06:14:58.560-07:002014-04-03T06:14:58.560-07:00I am originally from NY and grew up with parents w...I am originally from NY and grew up with parents who were rabid Mets fans, and in their later years when they were in poor health and with less money, watching all the games on tv brought them much enjoyment for free. My brother bought an engraved tile on the path which leads to the new ballfield with their names that said World's Greatest Fans. <br /><br />My childhood memories are entwined with those of watching games on tv or in person with my father especially, and I miss him greatly. I married a Yankees fan and my kids grew up as such, but now that we are moving to California in a couple of weeks I am thinking of following the Dodgers so that I may watch national league games again as I did in my childhood.<br /><br />Thanks for reading my ramblings, and letting me relive some very special memories :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467755462563450085.post-10326328867447534282014-04-03T02:32:45.730-07:002014-04-03T02:32:45.730-07:00It's not at all popular here in Belgium, even ...It's not at all popular here in Belgium, even non-existent.

LOL. I went to a few games when I was in Canada for a year but sadly it was the novelty of beer sold to you at your seat that was my fave part of the experience. Personally I find that you cant beat a good game of basketball :) <br /><br />Great to find you.

I used to play catch with my dad, and loved spending that precious time with him when I was a child. He worked out-of-town a lot, so those times were special. <br /><br />One summer, Eddie Feigner came to our city and my dad took our family to go see him pitch. It was a pretty big deal. I recall this event vividly because I ate a pogo at the game, and it was bad. This was my first experience with food poisoning! Ugh. <br /><br />My dad, however, saw Eddie Feigner a few times, and even got his autograph on the programme at the last event. In fact, we were just talking about this last week, when we went through an old box of mementos from my dad's life. (My dad is now 72.)<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02158165871114032127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467755462563450085.post-48105110253284781902014-04-02T18:35:24.619-07:002014-04-02T18:35:24.619-07:00Grew up a Reds fan, moved to Arizona and was there...Grew up a Reds fan, moved to Arizona and was there when the Diamondbacks won the World Series, now a Texas resident and, until they traded my beloved Ian Kinsler, I was a serious Rangers fan.

I highly recommend watching the movie because it will appeal to baseball lovers, but I liked it because it was a World War II era movie, and Tom Hanks was in it.<br /><br />Juliahttp://sweetbeariesartphotography.sweetbeariesart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467755462563450085.post-63621703904647235462014-04-02T17:46:25.592-07:002014-04-02T17:46:25.592-07:00I grew up a pretty rabid Red Sox fan but wasn'...I grew up a pretty rabid Red Sox fan but wasn't into any other sports. My parents weren't sports-watchers, although I liked ABC's Wide World of Sports and the winter olympics. But now I love NFL, CFL and college football. I am over the moon with the Seattle Seahawks amazing Superbowl win. I'm also a 49ers fan. Not much into baseball or hockey but I like the Red Sox and the Mariners and the Vancouver Canucks for hockey. College football the UW Huskies and Cal Bears, CFL I like the British Columbia Lions.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467755462563450085.post-12855832703607165502014-04-02T16:27:49.608-07:002014-04-02T16:27:49.608-07:00My lovely wife and I are HUGE Yankees fans.
