Rave: Girls that like baseball.

[TheoSqua]

so a good friend of mine sent me an e-mail last night that included the following:

"Okay, so I am watching the news right now and just heard that Jim Edmonds might be signing with the Cubs!!!! I can't believe that!!!! It's the worst thing since... ever!"
and
"So I'm super excited for this Friday... I'm going to my first Cards game of the season! I think we have really bad seats but they were only $8 and we're going with some friends so we should have a blast."

<--- is in love.

my wife likes it just enough to not annoy me

My wife likes it but she not the watch 140 games a year type. I'm still working on that

mrs. pop still thinks a homerun is a touchdown.

My theory (and experience) is that it's best to be with a girl that either:

-loves the hell out of the game
-knows nothing at all about the game

If she knows nothing, then teaching her about it is something you can share. And if she has no interest, then she won't bother you when you're into it. If she knows a lot, it's also something you can share. But the middle ground sucks and can be annoying. It's hard to explain.

Mrs. mikechamp enjoys baseball, and also enjoys learning more about it. She's a Braves fan, which isn't all bad. She bought me XM a few years ago so I could listen to as many games as I can. Our TVs are routinely displaying some type of sporting event, and she's cool with it.



I can't imagine the amount of conflict we'd have if she didn't like baseball. Well, we wouldn't have conflict because it would have been a deal breaker for me.

The girl I have a crush on plays softball so she knows some baseball stuff pretty well...

My wife hates baseball with a passion.

My last ex boyfriend hated baseball (and all sports).

Guys who hate sports are not winners in life. I'm glad to read that this is an ex.
