I think this is a thread long over do and it hit me that this something in many ways we come close to talking about yet we have actually never discusssed and in many ways can be educational to others.

Who is your favorite player and why? or Who is your favorite team and why? (As far as Game Used items you collect)

Mine as everyone knows is Darryl Strawberry
Many people ask why he has done so many bad things off the feild and ruined his career. I agree. Yet you cannot deny what he has done while he did play on the field. He had one of the sweetest swings in baseball - once regarded in a newspaper as graceful as a Gazelle I couldnt agree more and the Home Runs just popped off his bat.
He is what made me take a liking to watching baseball when i was young, before him I could have rally caredless but when I first saw him come up in 1983 in a game and to watch him swing, I was blown away and thought to myself this kid is gonna be great!!!
