There are only 2 real football teams in all of the World. The Bears and The Packers. Since it is absolutely impossible to like both...at birth, I chose the Bears.
I am a baseball fan. Tigers of course. Was " the beer man" at Diamondback games for 2 seasons afterwork, part time minimum wage plus tips. Just for fun. I also worked Suns and Coyotes games, same food vendor at both venues. Broke my leg and had to quit. Been to 2 world series games. Game 1 and 7 in 2001 when the D'Backs beat the Yankees. Going to All Star game this year. My fav " sports " that I participate in are fishing and mountainbiking in the desert. Is poker a sport? I spend many hours a month at the casino.
The first year I got into baseball was 1984, watching the Tigers. The team members I remember are: Alan Trammell, Lou Whitaker, Kirk Gibson, Lance Parrish, Jack Morris, Chet lemon, (Dave Bergman?, Darrell Evans?)... and of course, Sparky Anderson lol ...What a year they had!
Oh yeah, the 84 Tigers. They opened that season 35-5 and never looked back. Beat the Padres in the WS. I have a book called " Wire to Wire " about that season. Kirk Gibson is now Manager of the D'Backs.........cool heh?
Chet Lemon brings back memories. I remember when he played for the White Sox. MAN did he crowd the plate and got hit by a lot of pitches. Neve seemed to phase him.
