Who's your Favorite Major League baseball Teams?

[BingeBag]

The Giants (NFL) don't count as NY teams to me becuase they play in Jersey.

I could have sworn the Jets and Giants collectively play at the same Jersey stadium.

They do.  The Giants moved there in '76, the Jets in '84.  For some new yorkers who football formative years where between 76 and 84 went with the Jets b/c they were a new york team (unlike the Giants)

Neither team lot many fans b/c either move b/c this was not seen as abandoning the fans (unlike the Colts midnight move)

I love the RedSox's .
As soon as the Bills move to Canada New York will have three teams that don't even play in there state, I guess only in New York.

I don't have a favorite MLB team, but my favorite baseball team is the Seattle Mariners.

I started off a fan of the Red Sox.  When I first got an interest in sports, it was basketball and baseball.  At the time, the Lakers/Celtics rivalry was big, and I started to follow Larry Bird.  At the same time, I used to watch some baseball and liked Roger Clemens.  It was really more of a collecting thing, with baseball cards.

There were no Marlins or Heat at the time.  So, since the Heat and Marlins have been around, I cheer for them, as well.

That makes the Jets an even bigger Joke.  Its called GIANTS STADIUM.  When the Giants play the Jets guess who is in the visitors Locker room?  The Jests. Can you imagine Playing in the Vistors locker room in your own stadium?   I used to go to all the Dolphins/Jet games there. The just put up Big Green pads to cover up the Blue and Write Jets in the Endzones.  They are the ONLY NFL team without their own stadium. Even new teams like The Arizona Cardinals are getting a new stadium and the Jets remain homeless.  Most High school teams I know even have a Home Turf.

Its Pathetic.........

Isn't that determined by who is scheduled to be "home"?  When NYJ and NYG played this year, according to the schedule it was a "home" game for NYG and an "away" game for NYJ.  Similarly, when NO played their "home" game @ NYG after Katrina, weren't the Giants in the visitors' locker room?

Anyway, as for the topic:

I don't like any of the local teams (my opinion of them varies between indifference and utter hatred, depending on the team).  My favorite teams are:

Cleveland Indians
Seattle Supersonics (for now)
Miami Dolphins

I cheer for anyone Soriano is playing for. I heart him.

Actually Giants stadium has a grand total of four locker rooms.  Giants, Jets, Visitors and a second visitors one for when there is a event not involving either team.  (e.g. a soccer game) When the Jets play the Giants, the visitors locker room is not used. Who is "home" determines whose season ticket holder get to go to the game.

The Name up on the Stadium is GIANTS stadium. The Jets are a bunch of Homeless Gypsies as far as I'm concerned.

How did a thread about baseball turn into a discussion of Giants Stadium?

[BigDaddyFin]

I like Cleveland.  The Indians got me into baseball largely because of the movie Major League.  Favorite Indian of all time: Jim Thome.  I played first base and left field in high school I also had a similar open stance that mimicked that swing of his.  I wore number 6 (my favorite fictional player, also Major League, Clue Haywood)

It's still one of my favorite movies.

I also may be the one person in America who is Yankee-neutral.  I get bored with them when they win all the time but they've had so many historically significant players that it's hard not to have some form of respect for them.  I particularly admire Babe Ruth Mickey Mantle and Lou Gerhig.

Anytime we can turn anything into a Piss on the Jets thread..........its a good thing.

Well, I can't argue with that, but I do like other sports, too.
