I'm going to try to get to a game during the next home series- I wish I had baseball friends here that would go with me. LOL, have to say that most of my close friends don't live near or id they do, they are not into sports. Hummm.... is it wrong to wish for a future gf that likes baseball? LOL, I probably should just hope for a future gf..... Even women's pro basketball would be great. Even football- well as long as she likes the Steelers. But, I really love baseball.

My honey told me I could go to a game with you when the Pirates are in California...Aug 8, 9, or 10....the Pirates would love hear my big mouth way out there.......LOL thats what she said!

If I could make airfare work for the daytime game on Wednesday....(and I am still looking into that, the red eye) I'd only burn one PTO from work.

And to answer your question, no it isn't wrong to look for that quality. It was a non-negotiable with me. If you don't like baseball, I go without you, and you don't bitch, because baseball is what I do. I also like womans basketball, we don't even get that on TV here, I have to settle for college. I don't like men's basketball. I'm not a fan of football, but I never interfere with her watching or going.

But we have talked about this before. I am very active, and it's hard for me to expect anyone to keep up with me. Here is a hint how I know if they are a semi baseball fan. When I buy a scorecard, and start filling it out, and I don't get the protracted eye roll....it's not someone humoring me.

I see lots of femmes at the games, season ticket holders, you get to know one another........it's not just a guys sport. Don't settle!

No it isn't just a guy's sport at all.

WOW!!! OMG! This would be fantastic!! Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy KEWL!! Let me know- I'll get the tix!!! My sister is a Giants nut, too (whole family was and we are who is left) and she might already have seats for a game in that series and she has good ones- gives them out to me and her kids often as she can't travel as mucg to games (her husband is ill). Otherwise, I will just get some (but hers are usually way, way good seats!).

I've mentioned earlier in this thread that, although I've very limited interest in modern day baseball as a sport, I love vintage baseball imagery and collect original vintage photos.

Thought I'd show two photos I picked up over the past few weeks.

The first was motivated by my trip to San Francisco last week. Whilst there, I went to the Giants Stadium and to their shop where I was able to buy various items of tacky and over-priced memorabilia .... I thought back to the original Giants and the Giants will always be a New York team to me so I took the initiative to buy this photo.

It's of the Giants 1922 side. It is a historically significant photo as the Giants were in that tussle for supremacy with the Yankees - this was the second series in succession that they had fought over, with the Giants winning both, but the Yankees were to open Yankee Stadium the next year, winning the World Series that year also and the rest is history .....

The second photograph I bought was shot in 1958 and is of Gussie Moran in a Yankees shirt. Moran was a famous tennis player and one of the first women who introduced glamour to the sport. In fact, her tennis outfits (tame by today's standards) scandalised the sport. Anyway, I bought this one because I think she looks great in the Yankees shirt (much better than something vulgar such as a Boston Red Sox jersey):

Jeter's 3000th hit was a home run and everything. You can't get any cooler than that. The guy who caught it just gave it back to Derek Jeter and everything.

I'm not a big Yankees fan, in fact I usually cheer for the other team in the playoffs but Jeter is one of my favorite baseball players ever.

Andrew Mccutchen gets the nod for the all star game Due to someone being injured.

When being interviewed, Andrew said *Of course I'm happy that I am going the all star game. But I'm happier that the home town fans have let me know, to them, I am their all star* Then he smiled and winked at the camera. That gave me goose bumps.

Wow! Batting practice at PNC park today.

I stayed home, too humid. Watched it from my a/c igloo. pirates 9 cubs 1.

Kevin Correia was put on the all star list. The Phillies had a pitcher who became ineligable because he pitched today. Correia was next in line with the most votes.

That gives us three. And that feels better.
