I've followed baseball since I was a young child and i don't know what an "area play" is. So I guess I'm not a real baseball fan eh?

Arrogant sports fans are one of the worst things about sport.
agreed. evman, we all know you've played some high level baseball, that's very cool. Proclaiming yourself as some sort of "better fan than everyone else" is not.

I love both sports, hockey is most certainly my first love. But baseball always reminds me of my late grandfather. We would watch games together when I was little. Dad brought me a Jays cap from a business trip they year the franchise started playing so I've been a fan ever since.
