TJ,

Love the new avitar and congrats on the Hawk being inducted. I still have the cubs hat he signed for me at Wrigley, one of my favorites who did it without all the fluff and money others cryed about.

Can you imagine the numbers the Hawk would have put up if he had more years as a Cub?

I have this CD collection: http://tinyurl.com/ydn3pvu

Andre Dawson: Aug. 1, 1987--3 for 4, 3 HR, 5 RBI (his MVP year with us)

We have been lucky to have had many class acts in Wrigley. Ernie Banks, Billy Williams, Ron Santo, Fergie Jenkins, Ryne Sandberg, Greg Maddux, Lee Smith, Rick Sutcliffe, Gary Matthews, etc.

Cub Fans... possibly the only thing more pathetic than Mets Fans! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yes, but we get to be pathetic in Wrigley Field, the jewel of baseball. :P

Kinda like having one foot in Heaven and one foot in Hell.

texasbo - I'll try not to hold that against you... It's easy to root for the engineered 'best team in baseball'. Try rooting for an underdog year after year after year after year.........

Can't get here fast enough. It's a long time to wait for someone who hates basketball and hockey, and is only marginally interested in pro football.

Oh good Lord, here we go. This is about to get sillier than killitact and Rick Astoria locked in a phone booth together.

So what, the Yanks should consciously try to put together a worse team, just out of fairness to the others?

If I'm not mistaken, the Mets had either the second or third highest payroll in 2009. Yanks won it all, but they weren't playing the Mets. The Mets didn't even come in 2nd in their division...

But hey, I do like the Jets.

I'm glad this is buried in "off-topic"!
 
Re: Baseball

Cubs fan in National

Tigers in American

TJ,

Got to meet the Hawk back in the day in West Palm Beach where the Expos and Braves had spring training. He was really a nice down to earth athlete and very fan friendly unlike many today. WPB was a great place to grow up and especially when you’re best friend’s father was the VP of Operations for the Braves in WPB. As a youth and teen I got to meet and hang with Bench, Rose, Earl Weaver, Brooks, Aaron, Niekro, Schmidt and many other Hall of Famers who were fan friendly and baseball (professional sports) was very different back then or at least I choose to remember it that way.

I do miss Bartman though :lol:

I had a hard time deciding between starting a new topic or posting it in "16' garage door headers"...looks like I made the right call. :lol: :lol:
 
Re: Baseball

FM..... remember the first $100,000 player cards? Crap the memories I've got, Ryan throwing 8 strikes in a row at Anaheim Staduim, Stargle hitting out of Dodger Stadium, Heck even seeing Koufax pitch in 64'. Bench, Rose.....those were the days they palyed for the love of the baseball !!! Well maybe some dough to :mrgreen:
 
Re: Baseball

OK, fine........... I was going to stay out of this, but............ GO ROCKIES!

They've flirted with it the last couple years, but act like the Vikings in the post-season. I'm still waiting.

I got to sit in the cold-butt left field when they went down against Atlanta the first go-round....would like to see them go the distance. They keep teasing me....... :|
