LOL, when I was in law school in the mid-80s, Roger's shop was just off I-240 & Western in south OKC. Then he moved it to Norman, which was pretty handy for me. He's shut down the store, per se, but he still has a warehouse with an office in it where you can occasionally catch him and look at cards. I also see him at church every once in a while.

+0.5.. My dad is from Enid, OK and went to OU during their epic win streak. As a 13 year old kid he watched 18 year old Mickey Mantle, then with the Joplin Miners play his hometown Giants. I now have the signed team ball he got that day with Mantle on the sweet spot.

I live in Misery which according to this poll is no longer part of the us. I honestly dont think anyone will miss it.

Yup. I remember people sleeping on their roofs under mosquito nets to stay cool..of course that was 1959 and no self-respecting person would do that any longer...:rolleyes:

Minnesota----but grew up a Waltham, Masshole ;)

Woodland, California (hometown of Dustin Pedroia), but I grew up in Chicago. Go Cubs.:)

Did you go to Waltham High? Went there in the mid 70's, two years behind Freddie Smerlas. Grew up on south side, behind Calvary Cemetary.

Born in Youngstown, OH
Now living in Las Vegas, NV. since 1999

Grew up in Misery. Now reside a bit Nort in good ole Minneeesootaa don't cha noo:(

I'm from Belfast, Northern Ireland and that was and will always be my only home. I grew up during the height of "the troubles" here.

I currently live & work in central London (closest thing in a US-context would be Manhattan), although have lived other places - such as Makati, the CBD of Manila, Philippines.

In terms of US, I travel to San Diego, CA an average of 2 / 3 times a year and also try to travel to NYC often as I love Manhattan and the Yankees (next trip there is mid-May, although will only see the Yankees once vs Toronto 19th May).

+100 to that.

I'm in Northern Virginia about 30 miles NW of Washington, DC along the Potomac River. Born and raise in Williamsburg, VA. Been in NoVa for 16 years.

Just wondering how you ended up being a baseball fan?

Born in Brownsville, TN, home of Tina Turner and Sleepy John Estes. Currently living in Jackson, TN, home of Carl Perkins.

I'm not a baseball fan.

My sport is football ("soccer" in US terms) and I support Crusaders, a small team from Belfast and, in national terms, the Northern Ireland national team - which is a bit of a David versus Goliath task as Northern Ireland has one of the smallest populations on the earth.

However, I have an admiration for baseball history which started initially in the 1990s through a liking of vintage World Series program covers (here in the UK, programmes are the main collectible - bit like cards in US terms). It grew into an admiration for the 1920s Yankees and, day-by-day, I become more interested in the 1920s Yankees .... and some of the later Yankees players such as Di Maggio, Mantle, Martin etc but it's mainly the Yankees of Ruth, Gehrig and Lazzeri.

So I don't love baseball per se ..... but I love early 20th century NY Yankees and all the good and bad that they represent. I can name many stats / figures / issues of history from the Yankees of the 1920s but could barely name a thing or player of the modern day NY Yankees and I'm happy with that.

That said, I still love NYC and watch the Yankees when I can (next game versus Toronto in May).


ps - I always thought I was just a Yankees observer and not a fan as I'd never disliked the Red Sox - in fact, I always used to like picking up old Red Sox programs. Then, my long-term partner (and fiancee) dumped me for a Red Sox fan ..... the rest is history :)

Smart woman!! :) just kidding. I'm a Tigers fan who dislikes the Yanks very much. BUT, we have a common love for soccer. I was born in Germany so my allegiance lies in the Bundesliga ..... but I know where you are coming from nonetheless. I catch as many U.S. matches as possible. Just saw them in a qualifier against Jamaica in Columbus, Ohio last fall. Always a good time.

I'm also a pretty big Arsenal supporter out of the EPL. Here in the states most of the English Premiere league matches are televised.

I'll have to start keeping an eye on the Crusaders!

oh, and to answer the question of the thread :) ..... i was born in Germany, moved to Ohio in 1980, moved out to California for college, lived in Indiana for awhile, but now I am back in the Black Swamp.

How exactly did the Dakota's end up in the same category as Ohio?? And are WI, MN and MI part of Canada? or are those part of the Dakotas? I also like how "Navada's" represented twice.:D

Southern California

My homestate joined the USA in 1791, as the 14th state. Of course that makes it the first state that was not one of the original 13 colonies.
It is also one of the smallest states in area (44th?) and least populated (49th) so I am not shocked it doesn't have a button for me to vote for it.
I lived a couple years in New Orleans, then on the awesome Oregon Coast before settling in SW Washington in the shadow of Mt St Helens.
Hope to stay.

(No matter how you spell it, the mystery state is Vermont)

I live in Portland Oregon, I don't see "Oregon" in the poll either.......

Looks like I'm David's neighbor, about 5-10 minutes closer to Cleveland in Willoughby.

Isn't WitSec a wonderful thing?

If the Feds haven't found you by now, you should be okay.

I am from a lot of places. Five states and three provinces of Canada to be exact. I currently reside in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
OP: I know you don't care but your spelling skills really suck.

Why stop now?? Keep going! ;)

central Calli, or as my father calls it, Baja Origon

Extreme upper NE corner of Alabama.....The Heart of Dixie.....and a loyal NEW YORK YANKEE FAN

I live fairly close to Arsenal and occasionally go the games there. Unfortunately, it is fairly atmosphere-less which is generally the case in the EPL and has been that way for twenty years+ ..... ever since standing was abolished post the Hillsborough disaster.

Moving to London, I thought I'd really get into going to EPL games but I haven't. Just too commercial and too modern for me I guess. For me, my football life and memories are always related to the 1980s when I was a kid and, well, it was a coming of age for me.

From 1996 to 2004, I rarely missed a Northern Ireland away game - I think I saw them in over 40 countries in that time. This game, at home in Belfast, was one of my favourites and bizarre to think it's now 20 years ago. Atmosphere that night was truly electric:

Still trying to determine whether Rick Ankiel is our opening day Starter or right fielder. Either way, I'm guessing he bats 3rd.
