- - OT: where are you from (http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=163085)

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.......

Painesville, OH. About 20 minutes east of Cleveland.

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

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.

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.
