It seems like every ten years a baseball team comes along and makes me want to watch baseball.
1986: When I was a kid, the 1986 Mets were my team. I lived and died watching them. I couldn't sleep when they lost and I couldn't sleep when they won. Looking back it seems silly to lose sleep over what happens with a sports team considering it has ZERO impact on your life. When they won the World Series, it was amazing.
1996: I stopped watching baseball after the strike scandal plus I had A LOT of other things going on in my life. However, there was a Yankee team with a rookie shortstop that was more substance than style. They were different. They were helped by a kid in the right field stands against the Orioles. Then they won four in a row against the Braves.
2007: (Close Enough) Ever since I moved here, I've enjoyed going to see the Rockies play at Coors Field. There are no tolls, parking is super cheap and they're surrounded by bars and taverns. Two years ago the Rockies got younger quickly. They called it Generation R and it seemed like a huge mistake until the Rockies brought up a young shortstop who's more substance than style and who wears #2 (sound familiar). Despite the fact that major league baseball has a major league steroid issue, I've enjoyed the Rockies run this year and they made watching baseball fun!
