In regards to following the season I don't pay much attention to baseball. My teams are the Jays and the Mariners and, ****, those teams aren't exactly contenders. But every year I visit Seattle for a couple of days to check out some games with my dad, brother and a friend of mine and that's always a good time. Baseball season means that trip is coming up so I always get pumped. Hockey is the main sport I follow, but I see that as something to follow on TV (Canucks tickets are pricey) while baseball is something I see live. I'd love it if MLB expanded and gave a team to Vancouver, even if they had to play in sterile old BC Place. I'd be a regular attendee. And there is an unequal amount of teams between the leagues. The AL could use two more to balance things out. *hint* *hint* MLB.
I've been thinking about what to do for vacation this year. I like doing road trips but from Vancouver, south is really the only direction to go. Too much middle-of-nowhere if you head east. But I've done that road trip so to see California again, I would need something different to spice it up. Well there are five baseball teams in California so I wonder if I could do a road trip to see a home game for each team. My brother is interested but scheduling things might be hard. Plus while Mariners games are very affordable I have no idea what sort of price teams like the Dodgers or Angels charge. Those teams are, you know, GOOD.
