My father went to his first game at Wrigley in 1929. He sat against the left field wall (no bleachers there yet) behind a rope. 40 years later I went through puberty in the left field bleachers, so tell me about it
I now live in the Bay Area and am an A’s fan - took about a decade to jettison the Cubs. I still follow them though. I think its a joke how Ricketts is beckoning to fans to come celebrate 100 years of Wrigley Field … while he defaces it. :smack: What a weenie.
Just got the recently released, “Wrigley Field: The Long Life and Contentious Times of the Friendly Confines” by Stuart Shea. Its good!

Bengals: none
Reds: none since I started following them when I moved to the area in 1992
UK Wildcats: 1996, 1998, 2012
So, three. I’d really like to see one for the Bengals before I die, and I realize how much that is asking of the football gods, as they are unmerciful.
St Louis Cardinals fan by birth, Kansas City Royals fan by transplant.
So, Cardinals - 5: 1964, 1967, 1982, 2006, 2011
I would count the Royals world series win in 1985 except it was against my Cardinals.
Also:
KU basketball - 2: 1988, 2008
KU football - hah! Not in my lifetime!
L.A. Dodgers: 1981, 1988, stopped following shortly after.
Anaheim Angels: 2002, still following (despite that “Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim” crap)
L.A. Rams: '79 NFC champs; moved to St. Louis, screw 'em.
L.A. Raiders: ex-Oakland??? Are you kidding me??
L.A. Kings: '93 Conference champs; lost interest in hockey altogether.
Anaheim “Mighty” Ducks: '02 Conf., '07 Stanley Cup; after I lost interest in hockey altogether.
Never followed basketball with any passion.
I peg my first sports memories in 1995/96 when I was seven.
Dallas Stars - 1 in 1999
Dallas Cowboys - 1 in 1995 (I was very young for the earlier ones)
Texas Rangers - 0
OSU Cowboys football - 0
OSU Cowboys basketball - 0
Other OSU sports I was into - 1 (wrestling in 2006 - I attended the finals)
OKC Thunder (since 2007) - 0
Norwich City (since 2012) - 0
Any of the various low league soccer teams in OKC - 0
USMNT - 0
I would do the same, I would cry openly and in public and I wouldn’t give a damn who saw me. But I don’t see that happening any time soon. A more optimistic friend of mine says 2016 will be their year… :rolleyes:
