Favorite Past Players:
I LOVE Lenny Dykstra. Dykstra is and was one of the most underrated players of all time, he should draw comparisons to Pete Rose, with his hustle and frequent hits. I am ashamed of the Hall of Fame while he's not in it.

Least Favorite Team:
I hate the San Diego Padres. The Padres are a terrible team, Jake Peavy is the only thing looking up for them, and they are arrogant and gloating. I also hate the Yankees -- but who doesn't? I haven't been fond of the Blue Jays since they beat the Phillies in the 1993 World Series, but I channel most of the hate from that to Mitch Williams.

Favorite Stadium:
Since I'm stuck in Atlanta, I really love Turner Field. But I've been to Citizen's and Great American, and they're great too.

Favorite Team:
When I was ten years old, I went to a Phillies game in Atlanta at Turner Field. We got cheap seats right up on right field. I was pleased to learn Bobby Abreu was the Philadelphia Phillies right fielder. When I was that age, I screamed any baseball player's name untill I would be acknowledged by a wave, or something of the sort. I usually did this during the respective team's batting pratice though. In the middle of the bottom half of the sixth inning, I had forgotten to fight for a wave from Abreu in batting practice, so I screamed his name relentlessly, even if the game was going on. Abreu turned and greeted me with a wave and smile, and ever since that moment. I have been a diehard Philadelphia Phillies fan. I even traveled from Atlanta to Philadelphia to see a Phillies game.

Favorite Players:
Ryan Howard; but I liked him when he was in Scranton. Alot of people think I'm fairweather for really liking Howard, but my love for him has dated back quite a long time. Other than in Philadelphia, I have been a big fan of Craig Biggio since I was nine years old.

Least Favorite Players:
Ryne Sandberg is the most overrated baseball player of all time. I wrote my eighth grade high school placement essay on reasons why he should not be in the Hall of Fame. I also hate Ramon Ortiz and Shannon Stewart. Ortiz seems to like hitting some of my favorite players with pitches; and Stewart breaks of too many no-hitters, and I LIVE for no-hitters.
