Opening Day Baby!!!!!! - Thomas Kearney - 04-05-2015 05:06 PM
Baseball begins tonight! The Orioles don't start until tomorrow But my dad is watching tonight's game...... with THE CUBS nonetheless (He knows about WGN America dropping Chicago sports). Can't wait til the Birds lift that World Series trophy.

Go Cubs,but,I am an Oriole,Twins,and Cards,fan!

LET'S GO METS.
Lincoln would have been a Met fan. John Hay's granddaughter, Joan Whitney Payson, was the Mets original principal owner.
In their woeful early years the Mets were the baseball equivalent of the sleeping sentries whom Lincoln pardoned.
HAPPY EASTER AND HAPPY PASSOVER

William Scott was a Mets' fan.

I would guess Cubs or White Sox as he was nominated for President in Chicago in 1860.

He lived in between St. Louis and Chicago so I'm guessing it would have been a house divided. Sorry, couldn't resist!

Birds open at home today! 2-1 to start the season.
RE: Opening Day Baby!!!!!! - HerbS - 04-11-2015 06:38 AM
As long as the Yankees loose,I am happy.The Yankees have always been,in my eyes,the best team that money can buy!

Couldn't agree more Herb.

Great that you agree with me about the Bronx Bombers.It has always been about New York City and the rest of New York State!Most of the tax $$$$ flow to New York City.The Yankees and Mets get the ink,and we get the minor league sports etc.That's fine with me,so,I am an avid fan here.The same goes for the study of Lincoln.There is a lot of Lincoln history up here!
RE: Opening Day Baby!!!!!! - LincolnMan - 04-12-2015 07:43 AM
Detroit Tigers are 5-0!
