She likes going to games - mainly for the atmosphere. But she hates watching a game on tv, which means I have to be very picky on which games I decide to fight over wanting to watch.

Definitely didn’t have to convert her.

Made for interesting discussion with both her family (full of Cubs fans), and my parents (also Cubs fans), since I’m an A’s fan. I’m probably not winning that battle when we have kids…

Really scary idea in her family: Another family group related to her (I think it’s like a great Aunt or second cousin type link):

Husband: Cards fan
Wife: Cubs fan

8 kids: 4 Cards fans, 4 Cubs fans.

In fact, the other day for some reason she was trying to think of a player named Tim, and the first one she came up with was Tim Beckham.

Pretty awesome.

Every year my wife says she likes (or maybe tolerates) it more and more.

My friend that is a huge Cubs fan met a woman at a party a few summers ago and started chatting with her. He asked her what she had been doing that summer, and she replied “Same thing I always do every summer - drink beer in my back yard listening to Cubs games on the radio”.

They are now married.

This is funny. Her and I discussed this last night when we were out on a date. Before we got together she liked watching baseball. Once we got together she started to hate it because she says she has never met anyone that watches baseball this much. Since then she is starting to come around. She likes watching Grady Sizemore (and not because he is a great baseball player) and enjoys attending Akron Aeros baseball games (we go to like 20 a year). So she is starting to come around and eventually I think she will be just as much of an addict as I am.

so we like to take the tot to durham bulls games and get tipsy in the sun

playoffs and mariners games are also couple stuff

My wife is the greatest woman I know. I refuse to celebrate Valentine’s Day on the grounds of the commercialism of the whole thing, so we celebrate Pitcher’s and Catcher’s Reporting Day. We will get each other baseball themed gifts, instead of cheap chocolate. She also tolerates my obsession with simulation baseball and is playing in a league to see what it is about. I know no one here will believe me, but I know I am a very lucky guy, and will just enjoy it for the rest of my life.

in Tucson about 12 years ago and introduced her to Magglio Ordonez. She didn’t like baseball previously, but she loved it when we caught a foul ball at our first game together, then later took the ball down to the field and had Magglio sign it. My wife speaks Spanish, they had a long friendly conversation, and she’s loved the game ever since. Unfortunately, she became a ChiSox fan (because of Magglio), but I have been able to live with that. My wife is otherwise perfect. :)

She enjoys games in person much more than on TV. Like the Twins poster above hopefully the new out door park will have her wanting to go to more games.

My wife has been kind enough to join me on most of my baseball adventures. I’ve been to 26 parks now, and she’s been along for most. We’ve had great times together (also fitting in neat things like all the national parks out west and museums and such out east).

and my girl is a die hard Sawx fan. We’ve been together for about 2-1/2 years and she’s already brought me to 3 games. 2 at Fenway, 1 of which was a Yanks game, and the other at the new Yankee stadium for the opening exhibition games. It’s great having someone to enjoy games. Plus she is know taking an interest in my fantasy league asking for tutorials on how the draft works. Gotta love that. She’s definitely marriage material

Loves going to the games, can stand watching it with me on TV. Of course, I’m just lucky she likes sports and works in sports (worked for the Pistons/Shock, AHL and now College Athletics).

Sometimes she’ll grit her teeth to get through a Mets game with me (can ya blame her?) but overall the only thing she really doesn’t like, like someone else said, was my dmb leagues. She often makes fun of me for that one…

My wife digs baseball. We go to about 3-4 Durham Bulls games each years and maybe around 15-20 Carolina Mudcats games (we live closer and the parking is a hell of a lot better in Zebulon). My wife tends to root for the nicest players on the team, even if they aren’t the best (sometimes they overlap). A few years ago she rooted for Johnny Rayburn, the next year it was Cameron Maybin and last year it was Chris Heisey and Chris Denove.
She enjoys watching the Phillies on TV, but only a few times a year. Though she’s watched most of the last 2 World Series runs. She mostly shares my love of the Minors and seeing guys climb the ladder (though she is less enamored with the stats side of why they’re so good or bad)
