PS Demographics: Your Age, and Your Favorite Team?

[prisonerno6]

Will be 42 in July.

It was August 18, 1975 when I went to my very first MLB game at the Houston Astrodome (as part of our vacation Astroworld) and saw the Astros play the Mets. I saw J.R. Richard pitch a shutout! I became a diehard Astros fan during the 70’s and 80’s. During the 90’s I lived in Dallas and became a Rangers fan. Now I live in San Jose and still follow the Astros and Rangers. Maybe it is because of a childhood memory, but to this day I would rather see a game at the Astrodome than any of the parks I have been to in my life so far.

Belated happy birthday, by the by, KG.

I will be 43 this August. I was born in the Bronx but grew up about 70 miles north, near Poughkeepsie. I have lived in Albany for about 18 years now. I grew up watching both the Yankees and the Mets, but prefer the Mets.

I miss "Holy Cow", "White, you huckleberry", Lindsay Nelson's jackets, Kiner's Korner and the Happy Recap.

46 and a life-long Cardinal fan. Cheers!

David,
Sal "The Barber" Maglie wasn't afraid of playing a little chin music, for which he got his nick name. Every one in Brooklyn loved Gil Hodges so much they claimed him as a native son! Only in Brooklyn!!! I also love the nick name "The Duke of Flatbush".

In reading Pete Golenbock's "Bums", a laugh-out-loud moment was reading about f-bomb-dropping P Kirby Higbe. Ordering from room service: "this is Kirby f*ckin' Higbe, and I want..." Anyway, THERE's an interesting nickname you'll never see displayed in PS. [:D]

I haven't tallied the totals, but it looks like we're dominated by NL-types.

[GNDN]

That is because the NL plays baseball the way nature intended, none of this DH stuff [8D]

I'm glad I went with the free version now, looks like most PureSim players are about to croak given the average age of the folks on this thread

Maybe I need to switch demographics and write "PureFart" for the iPhone

[dneely]

Excuse me.....I resemble that remark!

[bugs_raymond]

I turn 39 this year in October, I grew up in Montreal during the 1970s and 1980s and I still miss them so much.
The Washington Nationals are no replacement for my 'Spos so these days I root for the Blue Jays !

TTYL,
Travis

[redsoxfan99]

56........... Red Sox ..................been with Puresim since first version.............. and a Brit from the UK [:)]

[Buzz2112]

I'm 43 and live in Kitchener,Ontario, Canada; my favorite team,of course is the Toronto Blue Jays.
We use to have the Montreal Expos to cheer for to but they moved to Washington to become the
Washington Nationals.

Welcome to the Puresimmers from across the border and across the pond. [:)]

45 and the Astros. Lord knows, I can't give three good reasons why...

Am happy to see Pence and Bourne though.

I miss the Dome too, definitely.
