Vince Russo's The Brand

There is just something that happens to me every year once baseball season is about to begin. I don’t know, just get a certain hop in my step, wake up with a smile and even have the urge to perhaps have sex again. . . maybe. I love baseball, I’ve been in love with it for some 47 years now. It’s my passion . . . my love. Since leaving New York, I kind of left my love for the NY Giants behind. In the 70’s I was an avid New York Nets fan, but that went away when the ABA folded. Hockey? I was a Minnesota North Star guy, I loved Caesar Maniago, but hockey . . . well, it’s just hockey and who really cares if you’re not Canadian. Nah, baseball is where it was, where it is and where it always will be. With all that being said–here are my 2016 FEARLESS predictions!
