Your three favorite baseball teams (including year)

1. 1977 White Sox - Southside Hitmen

I was a Yankees fan growing up but was in college in 77, a couple hours from Chicago. My roommate and I would take our girlfriends up to see the Sox. Cheap dates, we'd get tickets behind the left field wall, first row lots of times, and we'd drink beer and yell at Ralph Garr. That was a fun team: Richie Zisk, Oscar Gamble, Eric Soderholm. They had some bangers, but couldn't stay with the Yankees at the end.

2. 1978 Yankees

This was the year the Yanks were down 15 games in July and came back to beat the Red Sox. What a stretch run. I would go to the school library every day to read the New York papers' accounts of the game. Guidry went 25-3 that year. Bucky Dent hit The Pop Fly Heard 'Round the World. Just an amazing late season run.

3. 1984 Cubs

By 1984 I was out of college and working in Chicago, where I was dating my future wife, a big Cubs fan. Back in '84 the Wrigley Field bleachers were still general admission so on Sunday mornings when the Cubs were in town we'd get coffee and go wait in line for the gates to open. Leon Durham, Gary Matthews and of course Ryno. Rick Sutcliffe went 16-1. Eckersley was also a starter. Bowa at short, Ron Cey on third. A really fun team. But they couldn't get past the Padres in the playoffs
