Favorite American League MLB Team

[spindoc]

Yankees.

C'ville,,,,,you disappoint me so!

I don't like anything east coast. I suppose I'd have to say the twinkies, I met Puckett, Hrbek, Gladden once in spring training when we went down there to play.

The Red Sox have been my favorite baseball team since I was old enough to start watching baseball, so this one was easy.

I've been a Red Sox fan since 1975 which is the first World Series I can remember. I remember the announcers talking about The Green Monster and at 5 years old thinking there was really a monster patrolling left field in Boston. I've been a fan ever since.

It was '85 or '86 for me...I can't remember if it was the year before, or the year of their heartbreaking WS loss to the Mets, but I do know I was a Sox fan when Buckner let that ball roll through his legs...that was my first taste of heartbreak as a sports fan...followed by an upset loss to Villanova in the NCAA tourny when King Rex was a Wildcat...a Super Bowl loss to the 49ers...heartbreaking losses to the Detroit Pistons (as a Bulls fan)...

 

My early sports watching days were filled with heartbreak...:lol:

 

It hasn't changed much...as a Titans/Oilers fan...I've dealt with the greatest playoff collapse in history (blowing a 35-3 third quarter lead against the Buffalo Bills), and my team coming up one yard short of likely sending the Super Bowl to OT, and then see them fall short of making it back to the big game even though they were good enough to do it...aaaarrggghhh!

I like the A's some, but since they are on the left coast, they aren't on TV much. I like watching the Rangers and the Bosox, so I'll go with them. Growing up I loved the Royals with Brett, Frank White, Willie Wilson and Co. Also was a big Brewers' fan back in the day, however, that stopped the day they moved over to the Senior Circuit.

Detroit Tigers

Detroit Tigers.

I'm a Padre fan, but when I pull for an AL club I like the O's. Momma loved them growing up in the days of Robinson and Powell, and I always followed Ripken and Murray.

Bo Sox's baby.

[PutMeInCoach]

If i've got to pick. Sox, White Sox.

[nomorenoles]

If it is not National league it does not count.

I just realized that I don't care about the AL. I guess the White Sox, mainly beacuse of Pierzynski.

[sweet16]

I wonder how many of the 23 Red Sox voters were fans for them before 2004?

[nWo]

I'm really surprized that no one has voted for Cleveland.

[stickymitts]

Yanks, although I like the Tigers too.
