Mine has to be the Phillies. Even though they sucked in recent years, I still love my Phillies and I hope they reach the playoffs and win it all in these next few years!

I grew up watching GI Joe and Transformers on WGN in the early-80's. Because Wrigley didn't have lights, I'd occasionally run into a Cubs game on WGN in the afternoon and was too lazy to actually go outside and play.

I learned pretty much everything about baseball listening to Steve Stone.

So yeah, it was the Cubs up until after 2016. The WS was awesome, but the new owners are pretty crap, so I'm mostly just a fan of baseball now.

The owners are awful! Complaining about them has become a person past time of mine while watching the games.

Red Sox.

I got into baseball in the mid-late 90s, right in the middle of the Yankees' dominant run. I was a budding contrarian, so the Sox became my team.

A fellow Sox fan on Lemmy. Nice

I don't know if you're old enough to remember guys like Jeromy Burnitz, Geoff Jenkins, and Marquis Grissom. I loved watching them play.

Don't forget about Ben Sheets. Those battles between him and Zambrano were legendary

I'm a Marlins fan. Excited that we are looking like a contender so far this year. If Sandy can get back to consistent form we could really make a push for the playoffs.

Hoping someone can get something Nationals going. Especially since we need the gifs on here

I have two favorite teams. The San Diego Padres and whoever is playing against the Dodgers.

Die hard Chicago Cubs fan! I’ve been a fan for 10 years now. I’m hoping to see them compete late into October over the next few years.

Braves are closest to me and I grew up on TBS so I love them. But I loved Griffey Jr so the Mariners are my second choice and my underdog team.

[–] Lizardon@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Braves, saw them play lots of times as a kid and still love going now!

Family migrated from South American to NYC, straight into queens and the flushing neighborhood. So…

LETS GO METS!!
