Captain Armstrong 0 Posted February 11, 2008 Braves? <_< I am not a Braves fan. I live in Louisiana right now, but I grew up in Florida. When I was a kid my dad used to take me and my brother to spring training games. The first one I remember was played between the Yankees and the Dodgers. I had my little Yankees batting helmet on and wore a pin stripped t-shirt. All I wanted was Yankee's 2nd baseman Steve Sax to autograph something for me. But he blew me off, walked right past me as if I weren't standing there (and there wasn't a crowd, he just ignored me). I was crushed. Instantly turned me into a Yankees hater. That day I became a Dodger fan. And now that Tampa has a team, I also cheer for the Devil Rays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your Dodgers are now being led by a former Yankees Skipper (Mr. Torre) so, they should be fine. As for the Devil Rays, I see them making a move up the standings in the A.L. East this season. They've got a terrific young team that will be exciting to watch. As for Steve Sax, he was and still is, a jerk. I hated him when he was with the Yankees. Once he got the Yips and couldn't make a throw from 2nd to 1B, he became even more useless. Edited February 12, 2008 by Gummy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Armstrong 0 Posted February 12, 2008 Well, Sax was a Dodger just before he snubbed me, too. I'm sure if it were the other way around I'd be a Dodger hater right now. But fate and all that. So, yeah, I'm very forgiving of former pin-strippers and (the worst of the worst, ex Giants) when they put on the Dodger blue. Still, I guess it might have been funny seeing Billy Martin screaming at Worf to hustle (or better yet, benching him for not hustling enough). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
