Apparently I'm Not the Fan I Thought I Was

After 54 home games and close to that many TV games, I feel like I've become fairly knowledgeable about baseball.

I also feel like a very committed fan - last night I had a home run of a headache, but off to the ballpark I went.

And it was a great game!

But I did see one thing that turned my headache into a grand slam.

Apparently, the Brewers think that 50% of their community isn't smart enough about baseball...which is why the playbill for this homestand is advertising a special class called "Baseball Basics for Women."

So you have to have a Y chromosome to understand the game without formal lessons?

Give me a break. How about "Baseball Basics for Beginners" rather than assuming that it's only the women who don't get it. The blowhard sitting next to me last night sure could have used that course.

Oh, but he's a man, so he must know everything about sports. Sheesh.

Right on, My Summer of Baseball blogger! No one gives women credit for understanding how things work--whether it's sports or computers or plumbing or politics. Thanks for setting the record straight about baseball.
