My dad was always too busy to play it with us, and he doesn't like active sports anyway, but he always watched baseball with us, and if he could, he took us to baseball games. He helped us start our podcasts (I think @MarblesTheDog03 shared it) and is always happy to talk baseball with us.

My favorite team is the Tampa Bay Rays, because I lived in Florida for a while and they were the home team, and I stayed loyal after moving away.
Well the Angels have Trout and Ohtani, and also Patrick Sandoval. I don't really like the Dodgers, because they beat the Rays in the World Series, but at least they aren't the Yankees or Red Sox.
My national league team is the Braves (I think they might be the best team in baseball, or definitely one of them).
He was my favorite baseball card for a while. Shane McClanahan or Austin Riley or Max Fried are my favorite players. I like Pete Fairbanks as well.
Game 4 of the 2020 World Series was my absolute favorite. For obvious reasons if you watched it. Everyone else fell asleep except me and my parents. My dad and I went crazy and woke everybody up accidentally.
It was a great world series, until Game 5. Then Game 6 Kevin Cash made his awful decision. I think Cash is a great manager most of the time, but I wish he hadn't pulled Snell.
And then Willy Adames struck out looking to end the World Series. I couldn't watch the Series the next year, because I was still crushed, but I managed this last one.
I got to meet and hang out with Gary Pettis, Angel's out fielder, at a park when I was in little league. He gave us tips and thought us some things. It was like one of those baseball camps type thing just for an afternoon. It was cool
Wow, you really know your baseball. To be honest, I haven't payed much attention to the game since before covid. I was mad at the dodgers for losing 2 in a row, then felt like the covid win was a weak win. I love baseball in October though, best time of the year
I always wanted to meet my favorite major leaguers. I have a baseball signed by Jose Alvarado, and another by Blake Snell though.
Thanks for the baseball chat. It reminded me of some good memories I had playing a great game!
