Favorite Baseball Player: Was Crawford till he went to hell, now David Price.

Favorite All-Time Baseball Player: Any recent HoF-caliber player who didn't use steroids.

How Many Baseball Games Have You Attended: Only like a half dozen, it's about an hour to get to get into St Pete and like another 20+ to get to the Trop, and it's just not a good stadium experience and definitely not worth driving almost 3 hours round trip for a non-playoff game.

How Did You Become A Fan Of Your Team? Family moved to FL when I was little. Didn't get into sports till the early 2000s when I was older. I always rooted for them but didn't become a real fan until 2008 when they started winning, just couldn't subject myself to be really into a team that had never been out of the cellar.
