The first time I saw David Ortiz play was in Minnesota when he was on the Twins. (Yes I've been to the Metrodome) He went 0-4 with 3k's. My first impressions of David Ortiz were that he sucked.
I'm not a die hard Red Sox fan even though I have a house in Red Sox nation. But I am turning into more of one when I watch the 2004 ALCS. That was one hell of a series. That might be the best series in the history of baseball. Atleast that I have seen.
I also went wild when the Diamondbacks beat the Yankees, because I hate the Yankees in game 7 of the World Series. Ditto for the Marlins in 2003 because I predicted from the beginning of the playoffs that they would win it.
But I love my Mets. I've gone wild because of them many times...and never seen them win a World Series.
I still remember sitting on my couch and watching Rey Ordonez hit a grand slam against the Phillies in 1999. Same thing when the Mets came back against the Braves with an 8 run inning I think.
And of course I remember Robin Ventura's grand slam single
And Endy Chavez's catch in game 7 of the 2006 NLCS.
And the Mets coming back against the Cubs in 2007 with 4 or 5 runs in the bottom of the 9th
Or Marlon Anderson's inside the part home run.
