Friday's Baseball Category

Inspired by the World Cup of Football (Soccer) going on in Germany right now, I was just wondering if you could...

If Baseball had a true World Cup (like soccer, not the dreadful WBC), which three nations would have the best "Baseball Hooligans" and why?

Have at it, boyz...

Since I have just finished watching the greatest Hooligan movie ever made (Green Street Hooligans), I feel that I have a special insight into this topic. And, since I am a soccer fanatic, here goes:

3. Mexico- If their baseball hooligans are anything like their soccer ones, they will be increadible!

2. United States- There is no doubt we are a tough race of people that like to fight. We would be great simply because of this American Warrior Soul that every red-blooded American Male is comprised of.

1. Japan- By far the greatest hooligans because they learn karate from the time they are born. Also, they are disciplined and patient.

1. Cuba - imagine if you could unleash the chains of a Cuban baseball fan and sic 'em on the World. Of course, the real hooligans are probably the players themselves, who would defect at the first chance they got...

2. Canada - Just so they could march into an American baseball stadium and carry the Stars and Stripes upside down (hello 1993 World Series...)

3. Japan - Man, the self-immolation that would occur if they ever lost this...

Good list, but I'm going to add a few...

1) DR - Definitely. They are SUPER PASSIONATE about the sport.

2) Australia - Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oy! Oy! Oy! Think of all the beer they drink and all the rugby they play and then think of them hoolaginizing at the Baseball World Cup.

3) The Scots - look out! These guys powder keg is lit by malt scotch, not some f*$&ing p*## water beer. Imagine what a caber tosser would do after a few drinks in him and an obvious blown call at first base? ;)

Quadrophenia? I will be on Amazon getting that one!

I agree with Will. Those Ausie's are rough and tough. You know what about the Somalians? They were pretty wicked in Blackhawk Down?

And since we can include anyone I have to say:

3. Al Quaida
2. The tribe from Tip of the Spear before the missionarys showed up of course.
1. The Hatfields and McCoys (my hometown favorite!)

US Cities???

3. Gary, Indiana (Don't ever go there- at least don't get off the interstate or roll down the windows!!!)
2. Detroit (Most scared I have ever been in my life)
1. LA (Rodney King Riots anyone?)

I vote for the CSULB Dirtbags Hecklers.
There are well known here in LB. They win all top three slots!

And how can we forget the lovely Philadelphia phans?

San Francisco makes the list only in relation to Giant/Dodger games at Candlestick...when tickets were plenty and cheap.
