Yes.......Dave Van Gorder......met him in 85....and so he wasn't great with the bat, he was one helluva defensive player and most of all, he's a helluva nice guy! :jump:Quote:

But the fact that you mentioned Steve Christmas made me laugh...I haven't thought about HIM in years.

Hi I didn't know where to post an introduction at but IM TheHugeUnit I am a Big Reds and a big Yankee Fan. IM a mod at another board http://forum.diehardbaseball.com/index.php?act=idx but IM the only Reds fan there so i came here to talk about the Reds. My Favorite Reds player is Griffey I liked him on the Mariners and when he was traded i liked the Reds a lot better. I hope they can start to spend about 10 to 15 million more a year all they need is some pitching help.
Welcome to RZ! :)
Thanks for the Welcome i forgot to say that i live by Cleveland, but i don't like the indians
Welcome, and we will forgive ya for being a Yanks fan......lol
WELCOME :welcome: :welcome:
We are glad to have you here as a Reds fan.
I always liked Steve Christmas because when he played for the Indianapolis Indians they would always play "Its starting to look alot like christmas" when he came to bat. I know its not original or anything but I was a kid and thought it was funny.Quote:

Nonetheless, welcome.
There are quite a few of us, and I've noticed a lot coming over here lately. Soon we are going to be more popular than ice cream.Quote:

I think one per league is doable. It helps keep me up-to-speed on a lot of things I think I'd miss otherwise.Quote:

It's easy if you're on the west coast, I've never become a fan of another team myself, but I sure know more about West Coast teams than I do about east coast teams, mostly because I spend the east coast time watching the Reds.Quote:

No, no, no...ice cream is not the appropriate comparison. It's more like having a wife. What you're saying is the equivalent of saying just because you have one, doesn't mean you can't enjoy other women. And I'm saying that's just not right. I'm a one-woman kind of guy...just like I'm a one-team kind of guy. REDS BABY!:redcap: :KoolAid:Quote:

I'm one of about 26 or so (not counting family or friends) that enjoy Tampa Bay Devil Rays baseball. Nice young team that aggrevates the Yankees & Red Sox now and then. The extra plus was Sweet Lou.
I spend the $150 on MLB EI - just to have a game on at 10:30 or if Vin Scully is in LA reminding me its time for Dodger baseball - or - to remind me not to hurry to cause accidents, because there is plenty of baseball to be played.
I think some of you wonder how I go through life liking the D-Rays and Reds. I also enjoy setting myself on fire, plucking my eyebrows with an electric brush trimmer, and sitting in a hot-tub while using a hair dryer.
Oh, btw - :wave: Welcome to the board, Unit.
Rather than start a new thread, may as well jump in here! I'm a Red Sox fan, a fan of the game, and as a member of SoSH, NYYFans, OriolesHangout, etc., find it fascinating to check out boards such as RedsZone to read what fans have to say about their teams. Now to throw in my 2 pennies on Matt Clement... :)Quote:

The Vin Scully thing you mentioned kind of brings home the crux of why I think a person can love more than one team: there are lot of reasons to love a baseball team. For me it's pretty straightforward (although I did once feel the need to write a ten thousand word essay about it): I grew up in Cincinnati and New York. There was no way I was going to be without a local baseball team to follow. The Reds are very special to me because I haven't lived in Cincinnati as an adult and they give me a very strong tie to my childhood. The Yankees are my grown-up team and I love them just as much. If they ever meet in the World Series, I really don't know what I'll do. Luckily, this is about as likely to happen in the near future as Eric Milton throwing six perfect games next year.
The way I look at it is -- what are the reasons you fall in love with a baseball team? Could be familial influence, could be one player who catches your fancy, could be an entire group of good guys you really like, could be an amazing game you happen to catch, could be some dude you meet in a bar who tells you some amazing story about something that happened to some team in 1948. All of these things can happen more than once.
As for the White Sox -- I like them, not a lifelong fan, but I like the team they've put together over the last few years. I've always liked Ozzie, I thought the trade for all-around slow crazyman AJ Pierzynski was genius (seriously), and as a Reds fan I'm completely in awe of their pitching staff. I would think most people are predisposed to like teams unless they're given good reason not to, maybe I'm wrong? There are only a couple of teams in baseball that I actively hate and this takes up a lot of my energy.
I do know somebody who, because of her parents, follows both the Cubs and the Cardinals. Now that's weird.
when i started following baseball when i was 4 or 5, only two of the teams i liked were in the same division. then in 1995 or 96, suddenly all four teams i followed were in the same division.
