Can't see a previous baseball thread.
I first sort of got into baseball when I started rooting the New York Mets during the 1986 world series (purely, I think, based on the fact that they looked like losing but they had players called Darryl Strawberry and Mookie Wilson). I knew absolutely nothing about baseball at all, but I could pick up the occasional American Armed Forces radio broadcast and heard reports. I assume the broadcasts were being transmitted to troops in Germany, but I'm not sure.
I finally got to appreciate the sport fully in the past couple of years thanks to live games on ESPN America and the splendid MLB At Bat app.
Anyway, blah blah blah, its still the Mets for me but they are not doing well, although I really like Jordany Valdespin. I follow the sport pretty avidly now, but I still have a lot to learn. There's a superb Mets blog called Studious Metsimus that I really love.
Baseball baseball baseball.
