[real fan]

My dad's family is all from the Milwaukee area, and the Braves played there until 1965 . When I would spend the night at my grandparents house (they moved to Peoria in the late 60's), I would hear stories of Hammerin Hank Aaron and his feats of strength. I grew up believing he was a God. Plus, the Braves used to have almost every game on TBS, and as a kid I used to watch every game.

I eventually started rooting for the Cubs just so I had a team I could discuss with friends. I converted to the Sox in 2004 during the fallout from the Bartman fiasco...I refuse to be associated with a fanbase who scapegoated a true fan when in actuality, every statistical model shows the error by Alex Gonzalez on the next play was a significantly more costly play.

I use to go to Milwaukee Braves games when I was 8 years old, I saw Hank play a lot and when they moved to Atlanta I still was a Braves fan. I liked it when TBS televised every game since it was free but now I subscribe to MLB.Extra Innings and get almost every game but have to pay 160.00 a season.

I will probably follow the Red Sox a bit now if Brian Shouse plays for them..

I was getting a pitching lesson back in high school when Shouse's kids were also getting a softball lesson. He came over and gave me some tips...esp cuz im left handed as well. although he didnt teach me how to throw like him.....

The next Braves superstar- Jason Heyward right fielder 20 years old 6-5 245lb.

White Sox. My idol growing up was their shortstop.

White Sox. My idol growing up was their shortstop.

Mine, too. Only my idol was Luis Aparicio, not Chico Carrasquel.
I played shortstop all through Little League and tried to emulate Little Looey.
