Cheering for Posey

I'm a big Buster Posey fan. BIG.

Sure, in July I based my decision to be a big Buster Posey fan on the awesomeness of his name. I was home alone listening to a Giants game on the radio and Buster hit two home runs. As soon as Will got home, I informed him that he absolutely HAD to add Buster Posey to his fantasy baseball team. How do you not have a guy named BUSTER POSEY on your team? What an awesome name! Oh, and he had just hit two home runs.

Will followed my stellar advice. And, would you look at that? Hands down Rookie of the Year. So, as fans do, I've been following Buster all season by listening to Giants radio or having Will report on Buster.

Not only have I been following Buster Posey, though, I've been swooning over Buster Posey. I moved him right onto my heartthrob list, where he joined Adrian Grenier and George Clooney. But the things is, I had never actually seen Buster Posey. We don't have TV, we didn't attend any games in person this year, and I don't subscribe to Sports Illustrated. I asked Will once if Buster was cute and Will informed me that he was.

And he is.

But, OMG, he's like TWELVE. Seriously. MAYBE thirteen, people. Geez.

I was gonna invite him out for a beer, much like I invited my bicycling crush for a beer (I'm still waiting), but I think it might be more appropriate to invite Posey out for an ice cream.

What do you say Posey? Grab a frozen yogurt?

Hey Giants fans! Continue on for a great Giants video after the jump. You won't be disappointed.

I didn't see Buster Posey until the playoffs, but I immediately had the same reactions as you... love the name, became instant fan, and... is he 12?

I turned on the game right after he had collided with their ginormous third baseman on a catch, and when he went back behind the plate the umpire was all concerned for Buster. It was adorable.

He looks a little like a young Will. We are hoping for a Yankee/Giants World Series.

When I saw your title, I thought it was going to be about Parker Posey. Because, seriously, who wouldn't want to cheer for her?

Buster Posey is a pretty sweet name as well. Even if he is about 12.

Nothing makes me more sad than realizing that, at 28, all my popcrushes are now younger than me. Okay, maybe a few things make me more sad. Like melted ice cream.
