Success Kid

I thought they lost to the WS yesterday??

I actually don't know. My meme is just generally speaking. in other words, I'm happy any time they win

Me too! I'm a long suffering Cubs fan. Adding Aroldis Chapman may just be the piece that we need :)

The Cubs are good enough that they could.

Do you remember when Detroit was always contending for a World Series?

Them and the Blue Jays

Ive lost track of baseball :(
But when I was watching it you had Sammy, Kerry wood, Mark Prior, Eric young, Bill Mueller, Tom Gordon to name a few...
I miss the games

Aren't they trying to get that team back?

Don't get to watch many Ball games anymore, but have always been a Yankee fan :)

I root for them because they are my mother's team. I was fortunate enough to watch them every game the last season they went to the WS. Such a fun, dynamic team! Now I feel bad that they actually have A-Rod, Beltrane and Texeira but they're not winning as much as they should be. However, there are still about 50 games to go. Plenty of time to make some noise. :-) The thing is, I am rooting for the Cubs this year, with or without my mother. lol

Well being a kid in the 60's The Yankees were the team. And the fact that Mickey Mantle grew up just across the state line In Oklahoma, and played ball fro the Whiz Kids in my home town didn't hurt :)

Is that his college team?

It was more of a youth league ball team here is a story! Whiz Kids baseball team in Baxter Springs, Kansas
This photograph shows the 1944 Baxter Springs Whiz Kids baseball team, the first of the Whiz Kids teams organized by manager Barney Barnett. That year, the team competed in the Gabby Street League based in Picher, Oklahoma, and won the league pennant with a record of 30-6. Standing in the photo are (l to r): Calvin Mishler (lf); Dean Cannon (1b, p); Dick Weaver (p, 2b); Bill Crow (rf); Jack Moore (ss, p); Ted Atkinson (1b, p); Richard Barnett (c, lf); Barney Barnett (mgr); Ben Craig (rf); Charles Heavin (3b); Wylie Pitts (cf); Lowell Crawford (c); and batboy R.H. Morgan. The batboy in the middle, in front of Barnett, is Guy Crow. The players ranged from 15 to 18 years of age. They are wearing 1939 New York Yankee uniforms donated to the Whiz Kids by Joe Becker, former business manager of the Joplin Miners, a minor league affiliate of the Yankees. The Miners wore the uniforms in 1942 but Joplin did not field a team again until after the war. During the Whiz Kids' eight-season run, the team was exceptionally successful. It became best known, however, for its most famous player, future Hall-of-Famer Mickey Mantle, who played for the Whiz Kids for a full season in 1948 and briefly in both 1947 and 1949.
Date: 1944
