Baseball fans - who are your favorite players?

Me: Mark Ellis, AJ Pierzynski, Nick Swisher, Jason Giambi, Clint Barmes

Re: Baseball fans - who are your favorite players?

  • Mariano River and Jorge Posada. I yell, "hip, hip Jorge" every time I see Posada bat.

    I'll admit...we went to NYC last summer just to go to a game at Yankee Stadium, and I liked the "hip, hip Jorge" chants.  The older guy in front of us was super loud.  Smile

    But to answer the question for myself...my absolute all-time favorite player is Omar Vizquel (former Indians shortstop, spent time in San Fran, now in Texas).  I also really like Grady Sizemore, and I'm still a fan of Jim Thome and Casey Blake.

    ETA:  Oh yeah, and Matt Holliday.

  • Magglio Ordonez (Maggs) and Nate Robertson. 
  • Vladimir Guerrero is my favorite. Unlike many players he seems like he's in it for the love of the game as opposed to endorsements, and ego boosts.

  • I'd have a beer with any of the Brewers - current and former. 

    I also like Coco Crisp, because I think that is one of the greatest names ever.  That's a valid reason to like someone, right?

  • My Tiger is Polanco, however, I absolutely LOVE Curtis Granderson.  He keep a blog with ESPN, always gives it 110% on the field, and just seems to down to earth and like such a good guy. 
  • Daniel Murphy, David Wright, Ryan Church, Jose Reyes

    My favorite Cake Wreck ever.


  • chase utley is my favorite right now - he's a good player and does a lot of work with the philadelphia chapter of aspca.

    i also like pat burrell, even though he went to tampa. i wish him a good career there. he really came through when the phillies needed a big play in the world series last year.

  • imagekirkette:

    I agree. Plus, watching him hit a home run when the ball practically bounced to home plate is always entertaining. 

  • imagexDanniellex:
    Magglio Ordonez  

    I adore Magglio!  I also like Chase Utley and most of the Phillies pitching staff, except Brett Myers

    LOL. Vlad will swing at anything. I love it! He sure can hit the hell out of a ball. He's got a sick arm, too.

     

  • Chase Utley .....swoon...

    And Cole Hamels.

    Love them.

    I've been following his as well. He has a great story! Did you ever see the episode of Real Pros on TLC where the talk all about Josh Hamilton and rise and fall and rise again. It's a good episode.

  • Chase Utley and Shane Victorino.
  • Zambrano. Love him.

     And Milton Bradley! The name is too funny, love it!

    Kevin Millar, Jason Varitek, Mike Lowell

    Love it. :)

    I love Millar. He'll always be one of my favorites! I also really like David Ortiz. If I could meet any celebrity, I think it'd be him. Even though he's definitely not hitting the ball the way he used to, he's just such a professional player and seems like a genuinely nice guy.

    Do you know how much it hurts me to see the names of two former Marlins on this list? Sigh.

    I loved loved loved having Millar and Lowell here. They were the bomb diggity. And I still consider both of them among my favorite players...

    As to my Marlins...I totally dig Dan Uggla, Hanley Ramirez and the new kid on the team--Bonifacio. He rocks!
