Did the the MLB post season (and the Giants win if you are in the Bay Area) make you more of a baseball fan?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I couldn’t possibly be any bigger fan of baseball, and more importantly the San Francisco Giants. I’ve been a loooong suffering Giants fan since the days of Willie Mays. Even if these playoff games hadn’t been so damn great and even if the Giants would have been humiliated I wouldn’t be any less of a fan than I am today. It’s just nice to have a team that could go all the way for once. It’s a feeling I’m going to have to get used to. GO GIANTS!!!
