The 18 Types Of Fans At A Baseball Game

1. The Peanut Guy

You know when he's been there by the mountain of peanut shells left around his seat.

2. The Drunk Guy With His Shirt Off

“Bet you won’t take your shirt off, bro!” “Oh, hell yeah! I’ll take my shirt off, bro!” - typical conversation of two guys who have had way too much to drink in the bleachers, about to take their shirts off.

3. The Guy Wearing His Headphones For The Radio Broadcast

Normally a middle-aged man who came with his wife and he uses the radio broadcast of a way of not having to deal with her.


4. The Instagram Girl

“Can we take a picture for the ‘Gram? I am making a PicStitch for my next post, #SELFIE!”

5. The Fans Who Wear A jersey Of A Team Not Even Playing

Why are you wearing a jersey of Prince Fielder when he was with the Detroit Tigers? 1) He doesn’t even play there anymore! And 2) We are at Target Field in Minnesota, watching the Twins host the San Diego Padres - TWO TEAMS HE DIDN’T EVEN PLAY FOR, EVER.

6.The Fan Who Stands And Blocks Your View

I paid 45 dollars out of my cheap college budget to sit here and look at your back. Thank you so much.

7. The Fan Who Argues Balls and Strikes Even Though He Is In the Nosebleeds

Tickets: $5. Buying a pretzel at the game: $6. Letting everyone in your section know how upset you are with that called third strike: Priceless.

8. Boo Guy

Stop booing and shut up. Your team is down by ten.

9. The Complainer

“Why did we come? It is way too hot,” “They were better last year,” “My favorite player just retired; I don’t know why I even came.” *Normally the fan who pays for parking, so that is why you had to invite him*

10. Has To Do A Scorecard Fan

I admit, this is me: I get there, I buy my dollar scorecard and I settle in as I mark up the 4-6-3 double play and second guess myself the whole game if I scored that fielders choice right or not.

11. The Girl Who Is Wearing Victoria Secret Baseball Gear

*Paid 50 dollars for this shirt and, boy, is it cute.*

12. The Girl Who Is On A Date And Doesn’t Know Jack About Baseball

“So is there halftime or do we sit here the whole time?”

13. The Litter Kid Who Just Wants A Ball

You don’t know where this kid's seat is, or where their parents are, but they come down that aisle as fast as lighting, looking for whoever caught the ball, just so they can ask if they can keep it.

14. The Church Camp Group

They are in the worst seats possible, they came with enough kids for a small army, and they are all wearing the same bright yellow shirt so no one gets lost.

15. The Tapes Everything Mom


Has good enough seats to pull her iPhone up during every at bat of her favorite player, hopeful to get a dinger and post it on her Facebook wall.

16. The Girl Who Just Likes The Players Because They Are Attractive


“I just came to stare at their butts.” “I would love to be Mrs.Trout.”

17. The “I Have Him On My Fantasy Team” Guy

For whatever reason, this guy plays fantasy baseball. He also continuously lets you know how many points he needs to get a win this week.

18. The Die-hard Fan

You bought your season tickets in 1965. You are wearing your only jersey you have ever had. Your team is under .500 by 11 games, but you are still there because they aren’t just a team, they feel more like family.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
