Baseball Fan

Baseball World Series – don’t you just love the feeling of a new T-shirt, the taste of hotdogs, the smell of popcorn, hearing the beer man, and seeing the line at the ladies’ room? OK so the World Series is more than these things but these things are part of the game – at least to a fan.

The fan has cheered, cried, and carried on countless conversations about The Team. Now the World Series! If you are a fan, you love the game even if your team isn’t playing. Sometimes it is better if your team isn’t playing that way you can quietly and calmly discuss the game without all those feelings getting in the way.

The fan would like to attend every game but settles for watching the game on TV – usually with other fans. A fan will turn off the TV commentator and turn up the radio commentator – after all radio commentators are better because they have to draw the picture of what is being played with their words.

At my house, we are fans – really good fans. We attend as many games as we can, watch the ones we can, and listen to the others. When my sons were younger we were in a situation where we could move the TV onto the patio. So there we would be, gather around the TV on the patio rooting for The Team. We invited other fans to join us on the patio. We frequently invited the neighbors so they wouldn’t complain when we got loud.

This may be seen as really strange behavior but then again it is baseball, the best play in the World Series, and we are some of the best fans. If you are looking for any of my family during the World Series follow the TV electrical cord.

GO ‘STROS!
