A Case of Mistaken Identity: How I Became a St. Louis Cardinals Baseball Fan–Kinda Sorta
Did you know that “Fan” is short for “Fanatic”?
There are fans, then there are FANS.
I am a fan but not a FAN Get it? Got if? Good! LOL
If you’re scrunching your face up, fear not my fellow baseball fan, all will become clear, just keep reading. 🙂
I enjoy baseball. If I’m going to watch any professional sporting event, then it will probably be a baseball game. And Baseball is just about the ONLY professional sporting event that I’ll actually spend money and time to go see, live, in person.

Of course we’re talking men’s baseball. Not so much into the ladies baseball. Go figure. 😉
Beards and Baseball…
I was watching a St Louis Cardinals game the other day and I asked my roommate “Is it just me or is there a LOT of beards on these guys?” So I googled it. And I’m not imagining it. For whatever reason, baseball seems to have gone furry! Oh my! This is a very good thing! Very good!
So without further ado, I bring you my latest Squidoo Article:
