Nice read, pretty funny. Im sure there's that kind of element in most sports. Here in Indiana there is this phenomenon known as "Pit Lizards" which is the racing equivalent. I guess everyone has their own thing. Too bad there isn't such a thing as card show groupies, or girls that have a thing for guys that are really good at fantasy football. Maybe in the next life......

I believe Mickey Mantle was an expert on the subject 😂

Groupies, yeah. Same for all pro sports — most anything famous: movie stars, musicians, etc. Bull Durham is kind of about one of them.

This literally is as old the game itself. Sportswriters like Henry Chadwick and OP Caylor wrote about it back in the 1880s. Except they had to do it in code.
