Girls who are Baseball Fans : Do people believe that you love and Understand the game of Baseball?

Question

1. Have people ever Taught you liked your Favorite team because of certain"cute player.

2.Just for the heck of it: WHich Baseball is cute :]

I think for me i had to prove to people i know Baseball we have to beyond to show that we know the Sport and if we make a Mistake they pounce on you, and yes tthink nome of the Players are cute, but i Love the Game of Baseball to much .

Answer 1

1. Yes! I suppose Ian Kinsler isn't helping my case much either. xD

2) Ian Kinsler, CJ Wilson, Dice K, & a few others who aren't coming to mind. :(

Answer 2

Yeah I think we all sorta go through that. I know this one guy who told me I only watch baseball because of the guys in tight pants. While I must admit there are cute players in the MLB. I do have a passion for the game. I understand the game and I would say I understand it better than many guys.

I think it's hard for some people to understand that you can love the game and still think a player is cute.

I've proven to many that I do know the sport, but being a girl I will always be having to prove that. I'm okay with that.

oh and for part two of your question as a White Sox fan I say Joe Crede is cute, Ryan Sweeny of the A's is cute, Jose Reyes of the Mets,  and Grady Siezemore of the Indians.

Answer 3

Sigh.

The guys at school never believe me until I can recite the stats of the entire Rangers or Orioles lineup.  After which they treat me with some grudging respect.  After a while, though, they come to ask my opinions on teams and stuff, which is nice.

Yup.

I think Grady Sizemore's cute.  I also think Ian Kinsler's pretty cute... Haha, I've gotten a lot of c**p from my friends for thinking Ian's cute lol.

So, yes, I think certain players are cute, but I don't like the teams because of them.  I mean, the only time I cheered for the Tribe was that playoff game last year against the Yankees.  You know, the one with the bugs and Joba Chamberlain. =D

And I totally liked the Rangers BEFORE Ian was called up in 2006.

And as for loving just the game, I go to all of my little brother's little league games in the searing Texas heat! Would I do that if I didn't love baseball?

Answer 4

1. NOOO.I would never do that.I believe that I have a passion for this game  that is more like a religion.I cry almost all the time because my dream is for me and my dad to go to Yankee Stadium before it gets demolished.I think my dad thinks that I just wanna go for the heck of it but he doesn't understand that this is something i love more than anything in the world and it would mean so much to me if he and I can go.

2. aw it's gotta be Grady Sizemore =]

Answer 5

I think people really think I do understand it. I have been actually playing baseball for 9 years on my twin brothers team so yes, I do understand it, and for that reason people believe me. I mean, you can't play the game for that long and NOT understand it. Plus, I wear a lot of my jerseys to school, and people ask me baseball questions, so I'm pretty sure people know I understand it.

p.s. I love this question!

Answer 6

I agree with what your saying but I don't feel like I have prove anything to anybody you either believe me or don't I don't really care

Answer 7

yes i do!! Its tough for female fans it really is..

In my opinion i think its A-okay for girls to think guys are cute as long as they understand and love the game!

I don't like a team just because they have cute players,no that's not good. I love baseball a lot as well :)

2. hehe for the heck of it? alrighty then!

Grady Sizemore

Alex Rios

Brian Roberts

Answer 8

1. YES! It gets annoying, but after awhile they find out that I actually do know my stuff.

2. There are a couple players I think are pretty cute, but I'll pick one from the Twins and say Kevin Slowey :)

Answer 9

Yeah, everyone who knows me well knows that I love baseball and that I definitely understand it. I've played it for nine years; I have to understand it.

My favourite team has nothing to do with who I think is cute on that team. It just has to do with the fact that I like them because I've supported them since I was really young.

And of course I think that there are some cute baseball players, but that's not why I like the sport. I just love the game, and that's all there is to it.

Answer 10

I have been called "Wikipedia" by guys before because I know more about the history of the game than they do, and more about stats of THEIR team than they do. I have a baseball hall of fame book from 2004 that my neighbor who scouts gave to me and I have all but memorized facts of every HOF member and I have a great passion of reading up on the history of the game, its players, etc. It fascinates me so much.

And of course I think players are cute. Check out the Braves' pitcher....Mike Gonzalez. Oh baby, baby!

Answer 11

I think Jenny Finch could make it in MLB and some of those other ladies on the USA Softball team could DH or play any position just as good if not better than some of the bums in MLB now.

Answer 12

No they think I'm a stupid person who doesn't know anything. My mother couldn't believe it. She's say to the neighbors, "Look, my daughter watches baseball. Can you imagine a girl watching baseball!"  

Answer 13

Until people really get to know me, they automatically think I'm a baseball fan because of the cute players.

When I was paying my T-Mobile bill the other day, the guy noticed my Red Sox key chain and said "Oh, are you sure you don't like the Yankees? Their players are cuter." I said, "no, I love the Red Sox. But how about you? I bet YOU like the Yankees cause their players are cuter." After that he shut up and took care of my bill. LOL.

I can't stand when people make remarks like that. If you don't think I'm a "real" fan, drill me on stats, ask me questions...but don't make those stupid little remarks about liking players cause they're attractive. That DOES bother me. And I get comments like that all the time.

I guess what I'm trying to say is...when you're a girl and you're a baseball fan, there's no way you can convince everyone you're a real baseball fan. They're all gonna think you're a fan because you like watching hot guys play baseball. It used to really upset me because it IS unfair, but I've learned to accept it. I know that I'm a diehard Red Sox fan and that's all that matters to me. If people wanna think I am because I enjoy looking at Jacoby Ellsbury's butt the whole game, fine with me. But they're still totally wrong.

Answer 14

I know that I love and understand the game of baseball. Whether others know it and believe it is their problem.

I've pretty much given up on trying to convince people that I'm actually a fan of baseball. My gym teachers this past year were like, "Oh, so you're a Yankees fan? I bet Derek Jeter is your favorite player."

The truth is that I do like Derek Jeter, but not because I find him attractive. Jeter will forever be remembered as a Yankee who honored the pinstripes. He plays the game hard and he plays to win. He's not about steroids and cheating. He's about honesty and winning championships.

The other comment I get sick of is, "Oh, you only like the Yankees because they win."

If that was the only reason I liked the Yankees, I would have jumped ship by now.

As for cute players? I know there are cute guys out there, but I really don't pay attention to it. I'm more concerned with how they're performing. But for the record, Mike Mussina is gorgeous.

Answer 15

1. Well only once someone asked my if I only liked baseball because I kept saying I thought players were hot and cute. But that's not true, I really love baseball, but a lot of the players are cute. lol.

2. I think a lot of players are cute

Ryan Sweeney (omg. i love him. he's so hot)

Grady Sizemore (omg he so hot too)

Chase Utley

Tim Lincecum

Brett Gardner

Huston Street

Rich Harden

Bobby Crosby

Ian Kinsler

Haha. I have so many more. =]

Great Question! Here's a star! =]

Answer 16

Tim Lincecum or Brian Wilson is what I would call a cute player. Yes I do love baseball and I do understand more than you would expect from a girl.

Question: Isn't it amazing how much you enjoy watching baseball as you get older?
