Who do you follow?
Just wondering which MLB team each GM follows, or are you that rare breed that doesn't follow a team.
Although I've followed baseball since 86 I've never pinned my colours to a team so to say, that was until Christmas when my cousin stateside had gotten tired of me not following a team so as a Christmas gift he sent me some Detroit Tigers merchandise, so he made me a Detroit Tigers fan. So who do you follow?

1) For some banter between us, see we both follow Packers, Wigan Athletic and the Maple Leafs, so think he wanted a rival.
Or
2) Someone to laugh at.

Re: Who do you follow?
Now I'd have been a Dodgers fan IF theyd stayed in Brooklyn, love reading about the Brooklyn Dodgers. Infact any historical game I've played I've been the GM of Brooklyn and I either make them stay in Brooklyn or start another game when they move.

Cubs fan my whole life - 1 World Series title and dozens upon dozens of seasons of unspeakably bad baseball, which has prepared me well to lead the Black Sox.

Re: Who do you follow?
Now the Cubs were the first live game on TV I ever watched, I think but dont quote me the Montreal Expos @ Chicago Cubs was the first ever live baseball game on British TV. Mick Luckhurst (ex NFL kicker) presented it, not sure if it was a 4th July thing, I remember the US commentators knew it was being broadcast over here as they mentioned cricket during the game.

Re: Who do you follow?
To be honest...(covers head) not really a big baseball fan. Used to be but not much anymore. I keep tabs on the Reds and A's. But couldn't tell you last time I watched a full game.
Wife has never been to a baseball game, so attempted to take her last year to the AAA Indy Indians and it snowed. LOL So that was a first.
More of a football & hockey guy myself.

Re: Who do you follow?
Is that where you practice with ex players then go up against them? I saw something years back, probably YouTube, think but not certain it was a Mets one.
