The 2012 Baseball season is quickly approaching. I like all sports, but I have a softspot for Baseball. Some say that the game is too slow compared to Football and other sports. I don't see it that way because I like the strategies the Managers, coaches and players use, especially between Pitcher and Batter.

johnaustin123: Don't feel bad, I'm stuck with the Cleveland Indians!
At least you can watch the Cleveland Indians' home games, John. Whereas I can't watch the Detroit Tiger's play most of their games, except maybe when they play the Indians in regular season.

Ahh, I'd have a season pass if I lived that close. Heck , I have a 3-hour drive to Detroit but I make it to about 8 home games each season.... especially when the play the Indians or Yankees there.
I know I can smell the field, pepsi, coke, pretzels, hot dogs, cotton candy, beer and slide an usher a twenty and you can sit almost anywhere vacant! Yes! Put me behind 1st-base in Comerica park so I can watch the man Miguel Cabrera, see the score board and see who's in the bullpen.

I went to old Cleveland Municiple Stadium, that huge ballpark many times when I was young, before they built Progressive field It seated 83,000 people. They don't build them that big anymore. My Grandfather was a sheet metal worker; he manufactured the original Chief Wahoo rotating sign. They used horses back then to lift the sign in place.
One day he was on the corner of East 9th and Euclid Ave. to erect a new sign. A pully was installed near the new sign location. The horses did the lifting. Grandpa's job was to stand on a ladder with a guide rope. As he was fighting the wind with both hands, his pants fell down. Fortunately, POP had his usual pink polka-dotted underwear on! As the story goes, he stopped traffic on one of the busiest intersections in the world because people were laughing so hard and beeping their horns.
I believe that Detroit is good, even though they yell Detroit sucks in the video:
