Sisko and baseball

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Okay, we all know The Sisko loves baseball. Has he ever said what his favorite *team* was? What would it likely have been?

(assume real teams only)

Me, I think I got him pegged for a Cubs fan.

In Take Me Out to the Holosuite he wore a San Francisco Giants cap during practice, I've always wondered if that was his personal choice, or if the wardrobe dept just gave him that hat.
I would suspect that he'd more of a fan of the old school teams like the Yankees, Giants, Cubs, Cardinals, Red Sox, etc.
I just can't see the emissary kicking back in the holodeck for a Colorado Rockies vs. Montreal Expos game from 1998.

I'm putting in a vote for the Fort Wayne Kekiongas.

I always hoped he was a Mets fan.

He did mention the London Kings' player Bud Bokai (sp?), who also appeared in the ep, If Wishes Were Horses. I also have a sneaking suspicion Sisko is a fan of the Say-Hey Kid, Willie Mays. And may I add I thought it was clever for Sisko to use baseball as a perfect example of linear existence in Emissary. So ultimately, I think of Sisko as s student of all baseball teams and players. -- RR

Sisko's loyalty would force him to stick with the home team, the New Orleans Zephyrs!

I'm thinking that his favorite team is the Pike City Pioneers, since they're one of the few teams that actaully exist in the twenty fourth century.

That and his wife's brother on the team, and it'd be a bad idea to root for the other guy...

 

[Red Ranger]

I'd love to know if Sisko thinks American League or National League rules are the best! I don't recall which rules they played under when taking on the Vulcan team. -- RR

Why, Sisko never collapsed when the stakes were high... OH!

 

[simmsbc]

I saw an interview with Avery Brooks once (it may be an extra in the DVD packages) and he said that his favourite player was Dick Allen. So I would have to say the Phillies would be his favourite team.

 

[bintak]

Bingo. I always thought of him as a Phillies fan.

I don't have the Companion handy, but I'm sure it mentions that Brooks and Lofton were allowed to bring in their hat of choice. So, if Sisko wore a Giants hat, it's because that was the one Brooks chose.

Memory Alpha says Lofton wore a Braves cap because of his uncle Kenny who played for the Braves at the time of filming (and later went to the Giants!), so I assume Brooks chose the Giants cap himself.

 

[DeafPoet]

Given his reverence of Buck Bokai I always figured him for a London Kings fan.

 

[Red Ranger]

I'd say Sisko was a New York Yankees/Babe Ruth/Joltin' Joe DiMaggio fan! -- RR

^ Who was the player from "If Wishes Were Horses?"

^^ Buck Bokai from the London Kings.
