We’ve got the football one going, so here’s the one for the grand old game. Red Sox here, of course. ---

Oh, I made it public, if that means anything (consulting sticky thread)… ---

Holy sheeeee-yit! That’s a huge poll. I thought 10 was the max? And no, obviously I missed the NFL thread. Or else I’d have seen how many options that poll had. ---

I had to vote for the team that this year will be the first NL team to repeat as WS champs since the Reds! 😃 ---

I only see professional teams listed. Sox it is then. ---

Not that I pay any actual attention to baseball, but it’s the A’s. Hey, I got engaged after a game! And I used to go cheer for Jamie Quirk. ---

My favorite baseball team is the 49ers. OK, OK, I pay vague attention to the Giants, but I can’t really stand to watch regular season games. I’ll flip to a game to watch Tim Lincecum pitch. ---

Um, “Seattle Seahawks?” Come on, I know the Mariners aren’t doing that great, but I think suggesting that they should be replaced with an NFL team is a little harsh! 😛 ---

I honestly thought I’d be the first one to vote for the Brewers… and two people before me already did! Heck, right now, there are more votes for them than either of the Chicago teams (although, they might be splitting the Chicago vote/voters). ---

Yeah, that’s what happens when it’s past midnight after a long day… :smack: Mods, please change the Seattle team’s name to the proper one. ---

The family’s had season tics to the Rangers since they became a club ('72). ---

I don’t currently have a favorite baseball team. As soon as the Orioles change ownership and Peter Angelos no longer has anything to do with them, I’ll be back on board. ---
