How many of you identify as "the baseball crowd"?

[ManAboutTown]

For those of you surprised by the responses, you must consider that we are not in football season, but had a poor prior season. The poll started in the middle of a nice MBB run... but MBB popularity is declining. And baseball is ready to launch a very promising season... following two fantastic seasons.

The timing of a poll/question, and the circumstances at the time will weigh heavily on the outcomes. Plus, MAT titled the thread "how many of you identify as the baseball crowd"? Some non baseball first folks probably ignored the thread altogether. If just before the football season starts, a thread popped up with "how many of you identify as the 'football crowd'"... you'd see a significant difference in total results. Just sayin...

Turbine feel free to change the title of this thread.. J1M brings up a good point, as "the baseball crowd" title came from a comment that RB made on the radio.

Now that the conversion has evolved, I would prefer a more generalized title. Don't want to manipulate anyone over to the baseball side..

I like to watch the "top talent" in the country on the field, and baseball and softball is where you will find it. No better athletes and coaches than in these two sports. Both are nationally ranked.

There is likely not a player on either baseball or softball who will have the level of professional success that Elfrid Payton or even Shawn Long will have. If you are just talking about collegiate success, EP was national defensive player of the year his last year here, and Shawn is the national leader in career double-doubles. Except for Lexie Elkins, no one on either baseball or softball is likely to match either of those.

Now, the talent in the coaching box is another story. Mike is the among the best in the business, and Tony is at or near that as well. Bob is... well.... mediocre.

When Lucroy gets traded to a contender, he is the type of guy that will be a champion. I also believe that we have 3 guys on our staff this year that can potentially have big time careers in the majors.

Year round! But public strutting doesn't start until the warmer weather arrives. It just looks too silly for someone my age to wear a thong with a winter scarf in public. People point and whisper about the obvious seasonal mismatch in clothing combinations.

And, obviously, no white thongs after Labor Day!

I'm up here in DFW strutting mine. Stogie in one hand, G&t in the other. Mine is made out of BEVO. Cost a bundle!

LOL! Bet the 'horn fans love that!

Hehe... did you use the hide off his head and keep one horn as a "hood ornament"?

I agree about Luc. I meant people currently on the UL squad.
