Answer 2

1. Good idea. :) I used to do the same thing, but all my baseball surveys get reported.

2. The Boston Red Sox. I don't exactly know how to explain "why." Other than friends and family, there's nothing I love more than the Red Sox. They're a huge part of my life.

3. Fenway Park. I believe the Red Sox were playing the O's. After that game, I fell in love with the Red Sox and everything about them.

4. 61* and Field of Dreams.

5. Having awful seats. It kinda ruins the experience.

6. Jason Varitek. The impact he has on a team is a lot more than what you see on the stat sheet. He's the captain for a reason. I have so much respect for his work ethic and leadership abilities.

7. I'd rather them be in first place! lol.

8. The New York Yankees.

9. Catcher. It's such an important position, but I think it's a little overlooked.

10. Carl Yastrzemski.

Answer 3

2. What is your favorite team and why?

My favorite team is the cubs because i love the city of chicago i think it is beautiful and the cubs are the under dogs there.

The first stadium i ever went to was safeco field. The mariners were my favorite team at the time. Yes it was an awesome experience!

4. What is your favorite baseball movie?

Probably sandlot. I love the womens professional baseball league but the movie a league of their own just didnt do it for me. :-(((

5. What is your biggest pet peeve when going to a baseball game?

Umm probably when people hurass the opposing team.

6. Who is your favorite player and why?

My favorite player is jennie finch i know she plays fastpitch but i think she is amazing! But if it had to be a baseball player it would probably be Sammy Sosa, i know that he did steroids but steroids dont make a great baseball player, skill, passion, and hard work do!

7. Do you like how your team is doing this year?

Yes i love how they are doing!!!!

8. Who is your team's biggest rival?

Probably either the cardinals or the white sox.

9. If you played MLB, what position would you love to play?

I would love to play third or i would like to catch.

10. Who is your favorite all-time player?

didnt u already ask this?

Bonus question- I think it is stupid the umpires need to make decisions without the help of technology.

Answer 4

2. The Cleveland Indians. I have grown up with this team. They are a great team and all the players are nice.(my opinion) I still remember my first indians games. we lost 11-0. I still fell in love with them though. It is really hard not to!

3. Jacobs feild. I think it was Indians against..... white sox. Not sure though. Anyway, I was in aw of the stadium. I was so in aw i almost stepped in throw up. Thank god my mom pulled my out of the way. haha! I'll love jacobs feild forever!

4. What is your favorite baseball movie? I really like feild of dreams. It is a funny movie! I also love it because it is a really great movie and a really good story.

5. I really hate it when people on the opposing team are at a home game for you and they keep on cheering. Sometimes i want to tell them to shut up!

6. I love Grady Sizemore. He is a fantastic player. He really knows how to hit a baseball! Haha! He is so kind, he is very dedicated to his fans and team. He trys every game. He knows he has to give it his all and he does every single game! I love him so much and i am so happy that he plays for the tribe!

7. Nah. I'm not that disappointed. You shouldnt be mad at the team. The Indians lost 2 great players because of ingery. You cant blame them. They had really good games and then had not so good games. I dont mind. We WILL be better next year!

8. I would have to say the white sox.. or the yankees. But probably the white sox because they are in our division

9. Center feild. I would love to be right in the center, have tons of room to run and i think it is the best position to play. It would also be probably the best i could play.

10. Umm... well... I havent known a lot of big baseball players because I am still young. I have seen videos of Mickey Mantle and he was a great player as I could tell.

7. Do you like how your team is doing this year?

~Not the Orioles, but I expected it.
