I was a lukewarm baseball fan at best until about 6 years ago. I started following the Astros a bit while I lived in Houston and went to a few games. Then when I moved up to D/FW I picked up the Rangers. I had always wanted to be a Rangers fan, but the team was so horrible that it was tough to follow them, especially from a distance.
Our first year here we went to about 5 or 6 games and I started to get interested in the team and the game again.
Last year I bought a 1/2 season ticket package and went to about 15 games. I followed the team the entire season and I think I watched at least part of every game this year. That led to research on the stats of baseball and how they are generated and what they mean.
The more I watch baseball the more I love it. It is such a deep game, the levels of strategy are really unmatched by any other sport.
Agree with PoP about the salary cap and wanting more parity.
Also agree that there is nothing better than a day at the ballpark with your kids. This season I have a full season ticket package and have been following the offseason moves daily.
Can't wait for spring!
