I want to start a "What I Love About Baseball" section!!! So here goes, and please add to it! thanks!
What I Love about Baseball:
-When you see players hosting underprivileged kids, or sick patients...and you see how happy those kids are!!!
-When you meet another fan of your team, and you INSTANTLY connect w/each other--though you are both strangers!
-The emotion you feel when your team wins the game in the bottom of the ninth, or in extra innings.
-How elated the announcers are when your team has just won incredibly...and how that elation just rubs off on you.
-When your team clinches a title, and you are just jumping up and down, up and down, and it just seems that everything is great in the world!
-When a player makes a klutzy move (i.e., slips 3 times but still runs home to WIN the game! ex: Calvin Murray of the Giants a few days ago...incredible game) to show that even the players are all human.
-After the players make the klutzy move, they laugh it off and have a grand 'ol time--to show that they still have the little kid in themselves
-How united the fans are at the game. You all are strangers, but you feel like hugging them after an emotional win
-The chills you get after you reach the postseason, and your team was written off by those da*n sportswriters and everybody, who thought your team had "no chance." And you PROVE them WRONG!!!! (Happens EACH year to my Giants.)
-Being at a ball park w/crazy fans--and forgetting all your worries
-When you see a sea of white (the fans are using their rags) rooting on the Giants.
-When you see, or hear on the radio, a milestone (500 HR's, no-hitters, perfect games, etc.)
-When a player has gone through so much personally (family matters), and comes back with 2 HR's--and seeing them cry w/tears of happiness. (ex: J.T. Snow a few years back.)
