Heh, I grew up in Manassas. Been pulling for them since they were the Prince William Cannons. I remember seeing Andy Pettite and Bernie Williams come through town on their way to New York.

I live in Lake Ridge, about 4 miles from Pfitzner Stadium... close enough to hear the fireworks every Saturday night after the game.

Absolutely.... why do you think I'm still a fan of 'em? There was nothing better than being in the Centreplex with everyone chanting "MAC-ON! WHOOP-EE! MAC-ON! WHOOP-EE!" after a win.

I think I remember seeing that Silber finally got a deal for a new stadium somewhere, any truth to that?

Yeah, it's going to be near Stonebridge at Potomac Town Center (between Opitz Blvd. and Dale Blvd. on the east side of I-95)

NFL: Redskins (because of Alfred Morris)
NHL: Tampa Bay Lightning (originally from the area, hockey fan... have the year off)
NBA: really don't care (but will route for Miami Heat in playoffs)
MLB: who cares
Nascar: see above

I tried to learn the sport of rugby by watching it. I had learned hockey and how to play chess the same way. I watched 2 straight years of Super 12 Rugby and at the end of the 2nd year I still didn't know a thing about it so I gave up.

I have seen several people on here who have no interest at all in MLB and that just blows my mind. Me personally, I would rather watch the Mariners and Padres play a spring training game than watch the Super Bowl or NBA finals.

Only sport where failing 7 out of 10 times gets you in the hall of fame.
