Hey there,
Welcome! If you clicked on this, I’m guessing you and I are feeling similarly discombobulated about our relationship with baseball. Either that, or you’re here to yell about how I’m wrong. If that’s the case, please proceed to the comments below. We both know it makes no difference if you read this or not.
Now that we got that out of the way...Phew. The title is pretty self-explanatory, but I’d be lying if I said it was easy to admit. For most of my life, baseball fan has been a defining characteristic both in how I see myself and how others view me; a point of bonding and connection, or simply a crutch to survive small talk.
