Apr 09The roar of the crowd.
I don’t really care about any baseball teams. I came up outside the orbits of the Cardinals, Twins, Brewers, Cubs, White Sox, and Royals, and despite playing since before I could swing a wooden bat, I haven’t gravitated to any one team. For a long time, I could barely stand to watch games on television.
That said, I just flipped through to the Orioles-Texans Rangers (I told you, I am bad at this), heard the crack of the bat, and my night got booked solid.

Yep. I got hooked when i was a kid and went to a Cards game in St. Louis (my family are unabashed Cardinals partisans). This was when McGwire was on his hitting streak and when i didn’t understand steroids quite yet. Bottom of the sixth he hit a grand slam, and they had to stop the game to control the crowd.
It also gives me reason to hate on the Cubs.
