What Team Would You Play For? Why?

[JZVOL]

1. Yankees- history, history history. Is there any other place you could do so little and become a legend? Yea there is a ton of pressure but the rewards are great.

2. Red Sox- Is there any place you could be so beloved by the fans? Tough to beat driving to Fenway for work.

3. Cubs- I grew up watching them play on WGN so I have a soft spot for them. It would be incredible to play at Wrigley. They haven't won a championship in 100 years but it's gotta happen sometime right?


Three least desired places

1. D-Rays
2. Brewers
3. Mariners

Bad News Bears so I could play for someone who drinks as much as me.;)

1. Reds-My favorite team growing up and the closest franchise to my hometown. 2. Cardinals-Great history and the best fans in the game. 3. A's-The Bay Area is fabulous and Billy Beane always puts a team of free spirits together. 4. Giants-The Bay Area, a great ballpark, and Barry Bonds. That's a solid trifecta. Least desirable-1. Yankees. 2. Nationals. 3. Orioles.

St. Louis embraces players far more than Boston.

You would rather play for the D-Rays than the Yankees?

I would love to visit their new ball park. From pictures it looks incredible.

Hat have you been to the Devil Rays stadium? I hear here is not a bad seat in the place.

As long as George Steinbrenner owns the Yankees, yes.

Valid point.

If the Padres weren't the Padres, San diego would be a great choice too. Great stadium and city.

Someone is having fun with you. Tropicana Field is an abysmal place to watch baseball. It's not much better for basketball.

Reds or Red Sox- Right field line is awesome for left handers

With the kind of money that MLB players make, the Florida tax code would be a pretty good incentive for me to play for Tampa.

I've heard the same thing. Plus baseball in a dome isn't baseball.

Agreed. Especially in frickin' Florida. If they can hack it in Houston or Dallas or Miami, they can hack it in Tampa.

Most desirable:

1. Atlanta - been a Braves fan since I was an itch in Dad's pants.
2. Cubs - love the unis, Wrigley, and the underdog
3. Red Sox - Fenway

I loved the Phils growing up (Schmidt, Bowa, Bake McBride), but they've become closer rivals with the Bravos, so can't put them on there.

Least desirable: Yanks, Rangers (wouldn't want to live in Dallas area), and any dome team.
