For me it would be the Cardinals as my favorite team and favorite player was always Ozzie Smith

I am a huge fan of Shoeless Joe even though i never saw him play. Ive read so much about him

Serious answer:

- Dodgers

- The Bambino (obviously never got to see him play but loved reading about him when I was a kid and knew very little about baseball)

In that case...

Ismael Aguirre, sweetest all around hitter to grace the AUNZBL thus far.

It was very sad to see hand and elbow injuries hamper the second half of his career.

Mets
and after that the Giants

Giants for me, then Mets and Yankees.

Favorite player: Willie Mays (only saw at very end of career), Rickey Henderson (best I ever saw), Buster Posey and Nolan #!$@% Arenado these days.

Cubs fan for life......

Greg Maddux.

His complete mastery on the mound, despite not being the biggest guy, or having the most amazing stuff was just a testament to the idea that you could work hard enough and be successful.

Mr. Marlin · 03-07-2018, 12:19 AM

Florida/Miami Marlins since '93. As far as a favorite player, I don't think I've ever had one. I've always been more of a fan of the name on the front of the jersey than the one on the back.

Milwaukee Brewers

Paul Molitor

Hotwheelz · 03-07-2018, 08:43 AM

Seattle Mariners.
Edgar Martinez.

Red Sox
Ken Phelps (based off of his 1985 Strat-o-matic card)

spleen1015 · 03-07-2018, 10:34 AM

Baltimore Orioles
Cal Ripken, Jr.

I was at his HoF induction. My daughter was 4 years old at the time. While we were having lunch on Saturday, she dumped her lunch all over herself and we went into one of the stores to buy her a clean shirt. On the front it said "Yankees Suck!" and all of the vowels were missing. Under that it said "Can I buy a vowel?" She received lots of attention that day. Our family picture that day was taken with that shirt on. Love it to this day.

Red Sox

Curt "Bloody Sock" Schilling is my "sports hero" but Dustin Pedroia is my favorite player - if that makes any sense.

Beatles Eternally · 03-07-2018, 11:14 AM

The wait is killing me!! Oh, yeah, hi all! New to the forum but an OOTP player since 1999.

Favorite team: Pittsburgh Pirates
Favorite all time player. Before the color line was broken: Honus Wagner
After the line: Willie Mays

Jim Edmonds, Ken Griffey Jr, Ichiro. I have a thing for outfielders apparently.
