I read an interesting story on the internet about food served at baseball stadiums all over the country. In Texas you can get Tex-Mex food, in California you can get a fish taco or crab salad, and out east they have enormous sandwiches. (Where is PNC Park? They have a Primanti Brothers sandwich and I saw that restaurant on Guy Fieri's show.) Up in Milwaukee you can have a Usinger bratwurst instead of a hot dog.... yum! I'd like to try the fish taco, please and I love Mexican food.

Cassiesmom, PNC park is the home of the great Pitttsburgh Pirates and Primante bros make the best sandwiches in the universe!!

It hasn't been a very good day for baseball in Chicago. The Cubs ... lost to Pittsburgh. The White Sox had a lead, but their pitcher gave up a grand slam. I'm not sure who the Sox' opponent was.

Today is a double-header in Boston, as yesterday night, they would have needed kayaks in the outfield. and a snorkel mark for the catcher!

I have been going to some of the local minor league games here in town....

Growing up as a kid? I rooted against the hated Reds, Pete Rose, Cesar Geronimo, Dave Concepcion and the rest of gang.........

The team here is a farm club for the Reds, so I have had to stifle myself when I go to the games.

The one thing that I really do enjoy is the atmosphere at the stadium.

It's not as tense as a major league game and the fans are much more well behaved.

It's sad that people take sports too seriously.

Oh, Cubbies. You are breaking my heart. You were up 3-0 going into the ninth inning - against the Mets - and you gave the win away. When the fans said "Maybe next year" last year, we really meant it.

I started life as a Red Sox fan. As a native of Rhode Island they were the closest. My uncle took my brother and I to Fenway Park when we were just kids - my first visit to a "real" ball park.

As I got older I sort of switched to the Yankees - after all, they did win the occasional Championship. I remember game 5 of the 1956 World Series - racing home from school to see Don Larsen pitch a perfect game. After I graduated from Nursing School, I worked in NYC - Columbia-Presbyterian. A patient gave me 2 tickets to game 5 of the 1962 World Series. The Yankees beat the Giants - what fun that was

I moved to Michigan in 1966 and immediately loved the Tigers. And two years later they won the World Series

I'm a Tiger fan through and through. But when the Sox won in 2004 I almost went nuts. What a fantastic run of baseball that was. The person I most thought of that night was my Uncle Lester - how happy he would have been when they won.

The Tigers are doing well this year. It's fun to watch our lineup when they are on a role. Poor opposing pitchers - can't figure out who to walk 'cause the next one up is perfectly capable of driving the ball out of the park
