I am a RedSox fan.. I think you are a joke! I hate the Yankmees but I respect them. If you think the CArds pitching can be effective against the Sox or Yanks bats.. you have a lesson to learn!

Being that we are both Bills and Braves fan, and you're the only other person I've ever met that I've shared that with, I'm curious about something.....What led you to become fans of both?

------------------

 

Braves fan b/c my father is. We use to go to Shea, Cincy or Montreal and see them in the summer almost every year during the 80's and early 90's. We use to watch them on TBS almost every night. I still get to see them quite a bit, I went to spring training this year. No regular season games though....I was suppose to go see them in Detroit...but it didn't work out.

 

Bills fan...my mom and my stepfather are Bills fans. Plus we don't live that far away. They got me in to the sport big time. They by far are marginal fans....they hardly ever watch the games now that the Bills aren't what they use to be.

 

How about you?

BF I like how you exhibit and, in some cases, surpass every single characteristic that you hate about (most) Yankee fans. (Except for bragging about their 26 championchips of course.)

 

You are no different than those you claim to hate. You are a closet Yankee fan stuck rooting for the wrong team.

 

Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever.

 

Obscurity will return for the Cards once they pack it up and go home. Enjoy your 15 minutes.

That's really cool that your parents were so influential in your being a fan.....especially with your dad. Part of me wishes I had something like that, cause it has such a long tradition of being a special bond between father and son. I know exactly what you mean about watching them on TBS, too. I've been doing that since I was a kid, and even though it falls way short of how I feel when the Monday Night Football broadcast comes on, it is similar.

 

Anyway, the Braves were the first sports team I really began to follow.....I was 8 years old and we had just moved to Atlanta, and I was just hooked. A childhood friend of mine and I were all into it, and I've loved the team ever since. I'm a huge Bills fan because I moved to Rochester in 1985 when I was 13 y.o. I developed a similar attachment to them as I did to the Braves, and even though I'm not in upstate NY any more, i still consider it "where I grew up" and I'll always be a fan of my Bills. I still remember riding the bus during 8th grade and hearing the sports guy on 96 WCMF hacking on the Bills for how bad they sucked.....having grown up largely shy, pudgy, and unpopular in school, I immediately hated this guy and began to back the Bills lol. The rest is history......what a great era of Bills football that was.
