I am far from a baseball expert. Very far from a baseball expert. I was tempted to say the furthest thing from a baseball expert, but seeing as how I am a person who has met my sister, that would be a blatant lie.
But I will say this: my years of covering the San Francisco Giants may not have made me more prepared to hit a triple-digit fastball, or more adept at scouting the vertical break of an A-Ball prospect’s curveball, but it has given me a fairly strong understanding of fandom. I read a lot of comments, on articles, Twitter, and in emails.
