Nah I hate cricket. To me it's baseball with all the good things taken out.

I f*cking hate baseball, it would be the worst sport in history if NASCAR hadn't interceded on its behalf and claimed the crown. And I come from a long line of baseball players... My grandfather played for the Cleveland Indians and apparently I'm distantly related to Honus Wagner.

Holy shit!! That's awesome. Do you have any stories/memorabilia of him?!?

My grandfather is still alive. I don't think he played more than a few years, because he worked as a teacher for thirty-five years after that.

And as regard to my relation to Honus Wagner, I still can't verify it. But my great-grandfather used to claim that Honus was his second cousin. Even if it was true, he died thirty-four years before I was born, so...myeah.

I'm sorry if I made it seem like I was related to famous people. I just wanted to illustrate that I was raised on baseball and I still hate it.

Dude you had the Bulls in the 90s, you can't complain about championships for another 20 years.

Ah no that is incredibly interesting, just wondering if you had any of the equipment/uniforms from your grandfather. What was his name?

Even though I'm for the Sox/Mets, I congratulate the Phillies, they waited long for it.

No they didn't. 20 years or something? Psh... come talk to me when you're city hits 40+ years without a championship in ANY sport.
