I played some baseball for money and I'm 58 years old. I'm a lifelong Pittsburgher and Pirate fan, and for some reason, and I'm being totally honest, St. Louis was the only team back in the 50's and 60's who I did not dislike.

Kenny Boyer, Red Schoendienst, Stan Musial, 'Vinegar Bend' Mizell, Jim Brosnan, etc........ you had a lot of real good guys back in those days............. and, I love your logo with the Cardinal on the baseball bat. You have cool uniforms and GREAT fans!

Please be well...............

Well I'm 58 also, so welcome to the club.

I have no teams that I really dislike, but the lifelong Cubs rivalry is fun. It also was fun to dislike the pondscum Mets when we were in the same division, but that's gone now.

I guess I sorta 'dislike' the Yankee's because of what I call 'bandwagon' fans, and the 'big bucks' attempt to purchase the prize. It's this kinda thing that really has hurt baseball IMO.
