Pitcher & 2nd Base | Seaside

A: It is so fan-appealing. It is not too intense and fast-moving. It''s a thinking-man''s game. The game has history and people like it because they can see hometown kids grow up playing the sport.

ALL THE WAY: I''m a hard-core Oakland A''s fan-they are the best team in the world.

Tom Decleer
Pitcher & Shortstop | Seaside
A: Because of the beer, the hot-dogs, the fans, the tailgating and the traditions. The discipline in baseball is very important. The baseball gods have major history in games-they are always looking down.

CHILDHOOD HEROES: The Oakland A''s are the reason that I love baseball.

Andy Kihn
Left Field | Marina
A: Because it''s old. It''s a tradition. It is a summertime sport-people like to relax and watch baseball.

GO BARRY: The Giants.
