Arizona Diamondbacks 2007

[starBUCKS]

D-Backs fan first off. Was there from day one of the D-Backs and ever since, that was the first city I lived in with pro sports. I moved to Boston over the summer, and my company has season tickets to the Red Sox games, so I went to quite a few. It's very similar to being in Columbus with Ohio State, it's infectious, you are somewhat sucked in. I also live directly next to Fenway, so I'm always out amongst the auora. This is my 4th state I have lived in, and the only place where I can compare the passion to OSU. The fans here are dedicated, educated and loyal... like the Buckeyes, I respect that. I spent 4 years in Miami, and hate the Heat, Canes, Fins and Marlins. I just fell in love with the enviroment and appreciated the passion... an easy thing to be magnitised to... On top of it all my peers gab about it non-stop....so it's fun.

Schilling's return faces major hurdle

Curt Schilling has interest in returning to the Diamondbacks, who would seem to have interest in bringing him back. But beyond that, a reunion with the former World Series hero could run into a major obstacle: money.

Schilling, who on his blog Tuesday night listed Arizona as one of 13 teams for which he would be interested in playing next year in what he expects to be his final season, made $13 million with the Boston Red Sox this year.

Even if he doesn't match his 2007 salary, Schilling seems likely to command at least $10 million, which could put him out of the Diamondbacks' price range
