ARE YOU A BASEBALL FAN?

Aside from cheering his or her tonsils out during a baseball game, there are many signs to tell whether you’re seating beside a true baseball fan.

You are considered an authentic baseball fan if:

1. You wear your baseball team replica jersey anywhere you go.
2. You know every latest baseball item in the market – including matching baseball knee guards, socks and baseball belts.
3. You keep a collection of baseball team uniforms, but you preserve it all by never wearing them.
4. You need to wear formal clothing and then you wear baseball sliding shorts under your coat and tie.
5. You know the history of baseball and all the famous baseball players of the past by heart.
6. You have a replica of Babe Ruth uniforms framed on your living room wall.
7. You were excited for your son to grow up, so he can join the little league baseball.
8. You are all energized when you meet a person selling baseball cards.
9. You know all the baseball card values.
10. You have a collection of baseball t-shirts with player name and number at the back.
11. You own DVD sets of baseball world series, major league baseball and baseball Olympics.
12. You buy baseball game balls, just to get them autographed by your favorite baseball player.
13. You know the professional baseball game rules by heart, and you’re the number one to complain if the decision is not in the rulebook.
14. You know the moves of your favorite baseball players and you keep up-to-date with baseball statistics.

f you answered at least seven of these signs, you are an authentic baseball fanatic. You have an advantage on other spectators and even baseball card collectors. You can identify durable baseball equipment including baseball helmets, baseball gloves, baseball bats and baseball mitts – and separate it from flimsy items. You also know where to buy authentic major league baseball clothing and collectibles. Plus, you will never be ripped off by baseball card sellers.
