I like...
watching 'Sweet Lou' tossin a bag into the outfield;
The 'Big Unit' snarling at Kenny Lofton, "It was a f***ing Curveball." (as the ball flys over Lofton's head.
Opening day...
Wrigley Field with the wind blowin' out...
Wrigley Field with the wind blowin' in...
Barry Bonds swinging and missin'...
The smell of grilled onions at the ballpark...
Watchin' "Little O" playin' short...
Jim Thome hitting a homerun...

- The thrill of playing hooky from work to go to a game.
- Hitting the cutoff man and cutting down the man trying to score from 1st.
- An unparalelled history.Where legends from the past are forever connected to the present and the future.

the bunting and streamers on opening day.
keeping my eyes on both the runner and the fielders on a try for three.
youngsters coming up through the ranks.
the clamoring as kids get autographs.
infielders, despite having done it perhaps hundreds of thousands of times before, doing button drills.

Rooting for Jimmy Rollins, because everyone is against him for 2 reasons
1) His is not 'special' like Joe DiMaggio
2) It's over 2 seasons
They are missing the romantic aspect of this great gameComment

I'm rooting for him. Shouldn't matter whether his is as 'special' or not. If he's good enough to break it then good luck to himOriginally posted by ImapotatoLast edited by Red Sox Rule; 04-04-2006, 09:43 AM.Don't blame us if we ever doubt you,

I don't know if you have to be a Red Sox fan to get this guy, but since i am, Bill Simmons is the funniest human being ever.

I'm not a Red Sox fan, and I think Bill Simmons is great.
Also, the inside the parker. A rare thrill in this day and age.Comment

The smell of my glove.
The sound of the (iron) cleats on the cement when you walk to the field.
When a runner at home gets nailed by an outfielder.
Shoe string catches.
A catcher blocking a ball thrown in the dirt.Comment

Thought I'd bump this one
More things I love about baseball:
Being part of the crowd, one of 35,000 people all thinking one thought, all begging for the same twist of fate, all screaming with one voice...
Listening to people talking baseball -- in the ballpark, at the gas station, at the post office, in restaurants...
The sound of kids begging for foul balls -- like a nestful of baby birds begging for food...
Baseball Fever, of course....Last edited by VTSoxFan; 04-17-2006, 05:43 PM.--Annie
