I am a White Sox and Braves fan. Once was a Phillies fan when Mike Schmidt was playing 3rd, and have been to the old Veteran's Stadium. Loved it when the Phillies won the Series back in '80 over David's Royals. My sister was a huge George Brett fan at the time, and I rubbed it in big time.

It has been nice to have Nick Swisher with the Sox, Cassandra. He has been a welcome addition to the outfield. BTW, he is the son of former Cubs catcher Steve Swisher, a bad arse in his day.
I have an independent minor league team within walking distance of my house, the Windy City Thunderbolts, 2007 Frontier League Champions. I sometimes catch a few games there every season.

I'm hoping they exact some revenge in August (even if they play them again before that) because I'll be watching two games from the Green Monster vs. the A's. Hoping it'll be some great games and that the Sox have a better showing!

I enjoy going to games and I follow both the Mets and the Yankees, just to keep up with my hometown teams. I love when those two play each other. But I'm pretty sure I came out of the womb a football fan lol. That's my favorite sport, with baseball pulling in a distant second.

Braves fan here...F.I.L.A...Forever I Love Atlanta.
Been a fan since I was a young one watching with my dad...
I'm not happy right now because the Braves just got swept by the freaking Reds because for some reason they simply suck on the road. It's so frustrating.
I love all of my Bravos...but this season Yunel Escobar and Jair Jurjens are probably my favs...

The Braves have taken years away from my life probably.
They've broken my heart so many times in the playoffs. Like, the last time they even made into post season was 3 years ago... I was still in college...and they were playing the Astros in the Division Series...I was sitting in my apartment watching the game... they lost in 18 innings on walk-off grand slam...I pretty much sobbed like a loser.
But I ALWAYS get excited again once winter starts thawing out and Spring Training starts...

This is my kind of thread! I'm a huge White Sox fan, and just a huge fan of baseball in general. Anyone that has read some of my other posts will also know I'm a huge Aaron Rowand fan...I cried when he was traded away to Philadelphia. I go to Cubs games to see him play every year...it was so sad, the first game I went to he collided with Chase Utley and broke his ankle

I've also causght a home run ball hit by Chase Utley at Wrigley field and got him to sign it at Phillies spring training in clearwater. On the White Sox I am a huge fan of A.J. Pierzynski, Mark Buehrle, Nick Swisher and Gavin Floyd. I also collect baseball autographs and have been able to meet a ton of my favorite players (including Swish, A.J. and ROWAND) My friends hate it when I start talking about baseball because I could go on for hours.

I love baseball! I actually know what I'm looking at when I watch a baseball game (as opposed to, say, football - which I enjoy watching sometimes but don't fully understand all the rules)! I'm a Braves fan and have been for YEARS. When I was younger and still lived at home, I spent many hours on my grandparents' couch watching games on TBS with my grandfather.

I've been a Chipper Jones fan since his rookie year. Was that 1993? I think it was somewhere around there. I was pretty young when he first came up (if it was '93, I was 13).
I haven't been following it closely the last few years, but I know it's been awhile since Atlanta's been to the playoffs. I don't remember who said it, but I completely agree that the Braves will break your heart sometimes. I used to get so frustrated when they'd blow a save or a really big lead, etc. that I'd turn the game off. And then they can turn around and fly so high. But regardless, I've been a Braves fan for over half my life and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

I was a fan of Nick before he joined the Sox...when he was traded, I was actually in the process of convincing my parents to take me to a White Sox vs A's game...I think I screamed so loud that the entire neighborhood heard me when I found out he would be playing for the White Sox...it's so great that you got to see him in SF...I dragged one of my friends down to Chicago earlier this year because I found out he was doing a signing...he was a great guy and I got a hug as well
