I first really got into baseball in 1981, watching the Dodgers and Yankees in the World Series that fall. Even at that time, I could tell the Yankees were to be hated...been a Dodger fan ever since.

But the Twins are #1. Listening to Herb Carneal call the games on the radio is when I really got into baseball.

Also an Oakland A's fan. That organization does a great job developing young pitchers, and I am kind of a fan of the Billy Beane Ball strategy.

Been a Twins fan since the days when they were REALLY bad.

Actually went to a game in the 70's with a bag on my head. (Anyone remember KQRS setting up this event?)

Been a huge fan since the '87 season. Season ticket holder for 6-7 years now. Can't wait for the opener at new Target Field.

I've told this story before but I am old, so I am entitled to repeat myself! Just turned 50 this year and I remember 1969 when I was 10, my two best friends were one Cub fan and one White Sox fan which helped me put up with our Cubbie fan's rantings all year. If any of you recall, the Cubbies were on fire that year and my beloved Pale Hose lost 99 games that year and were terrible from the start. We took his Cubbie carpola for the entire year....and then a funny thing happened in the last 6 weeks of the season and it was called the Amazin Mets! We poured as much smack on him in those short weeks as he dumped on us the whole summer.

Been a Pale Hose die hard ever since and Geno was right, my two favorite teams are The White Sox...and whoever plays the Cubs! I am devolping a strong 3rd place love for.....any guesses? Right! WHO EVER IS PLAYING THE TWINKS! LOL

Grown men acting like boys. This describes both baseball players and baseball fans! Let the season begin!!!

Windy, you young whippersnapper you.....'69 pales in comparison to the year that that Oriole guy (whatzhizname?) Tito Landrum, took some bum out into the bleachers....and I'm thinkin' that could be the same year of that famous "Dybzinski" baserunning gaffe, but my memory eludes me now as I'm 4 yrs older than you....but I will NEVER forget '69....where is Richard Selma now anyway?

While we're talkin' '69, why don't you give me the WSox AllStar lineup?

Here's the Cubbies:

Kessinger

Beckert

Williams

Santo

Banks

Hickman

Hundley

CF

P

Amazin' Mets? The only thing amazin' about that year was the Cubs' choke.
