Calling All "OT" Regulars

First of all, to those diehard regulars that have participated in the Open Threads this year on Talking Chop, let me say THANK YOU for making them a unique and fun way to enjoy the ballgames. 

You have given this  Braves fan a whole new perspective and respect for the diverse and educated fan base that supports the Atlanta Braves. You all have helped educate me more about the game of baseball, the players, management and coaches of the Braves and most importantly, what's to look forward to as we look to the future with this franchise.

Now that the season's end is fast approaching with just 3 games left, I thought about a fun way to wrap up our interaction with one another until we get back at it again next year.   Here's what I've come up with...

 Reply to this topic with 1 word,  that in your opinion,  best describes you.

Yeah, I know it's silly, but the replies you get might be a fun read.

If Albert played in the AFL, they’d have to rename it the AZ/NM Fall League, based on where his homers landed.

Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a screwball can be a pitch or a person, stealing is legal and you can spit anywhere you like except in the umpire's eye or on the ball.
