I set my alarm for 45 min before I have to get up - because I can't just get up after one alarm. I have to snooze awhile and prepare myself to get up.

my vote is for Charlie Haeger.

Of course I have seen that quote - Buck O'Neil was the epitome of grace. What a beautiful soul. Rocky -

oy, numbers obsessive.......yes, baseball is about numbers - but it IS also about sentimentality. Baseball and many players are something near and dear to the heart of this nation and the world. There are beloved players who may not be the best numbers wise, but have captured the hearts and minds of generations. So, when considering someone into the Hall of Fame, sure numbers mean something, but it also means something to have been the kind of person who has had the masses in their pocket. It does matter. You'd be one to argue that the HOF got it right not to induct Buck O'Neil into the H

so - does anyone know where that is? some links say Wrigley Field - some say soccer fans - some say music festival.......

I have seen Rocky in a pink tutu - he sure makes a purty ballerina.

I like that uniform - those vest shirts they have sported in the past are hideous. YAY ROYALS!!

I despise Hawk - but I do think he can be fair when it comes to the close calls...... Hawk isn't even calling this inning right now (bottom of 2nd) he must be out of the booth drinking heavily and throwing things.

7-2 now - 2nd inning.....ouch. oh boy Indians have the bases loaded - 1 out......good times. wow 9-2......

alright Jose Contreras.......play ball! or not.....2nd pitch - gave up a home run to Grady Sizemore......

yeah - then I'm a Leo too!

me? bad influence? never. I *heart* Rocky's Tigers avatar - it's so cuuuuute! rawr!

DO IT!!!

I don't even remember my first game.....been going since I was a weeeee baby. And good job Mets - definitely the better team tonight.

it's time.....

well playing .500 ball will be worse for the Sox than the Cards - no way can you contend in the AL Central with that kind of record. Last year Ozzie said that winning 90 games should be a ticket to the postseason......bzzzzzzz wrong. -- and.....today is the day!!! woooohoooo!

I am only teasing - though seriously, I have never actually met a Rangers fan.

I never knew the Texas Rangers actually had fans....

oh, I don't expect the Cardinals to do much - nor the Sox - 500 ball for both. However, that doesn't mean I won't be watching excessive amounts of it

I am not sure who Leo is..... But.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

yeah it is really funny - because I wasn't even sure where you lived. After I thought I saw you I asked Graham, "where does Doubter live?" And he said Atlanta and I was like....I think I saw him! I knew you lived in the south - but that's all.....too funny!! Glad you had a good time......and I hope you are rooting against the flubs. ....and please......give Bonds hell. and hey Mets fan - this baseball thread has been started every year on VC for as long as I can remember......don't get too excited haha

DAMN!!! Now I am all sad......well you have a doppelganger then. Of course, I have only seen pictures of you on here. It was the old school Sox hat that made me think it was you because I have seen pictures of you in that. Bummer.

If it was indeed you (gray Sox shirt, hoodie maybe? and an old school Sox hat) you were alone, just sitting there watching. Oh yeah, and they did catch you picking your nose.

Hey did you hear......I saw you on TV?!! Glad you had a fun time and you even got to see a win - though Thornton made me a little nervous there at the end.
