"The Die-Hard/Passionate Fan: Known for intense loyalty, high energy, and often, high frustration during underperformance, characteristic of teams like the New York Yankees. I think there are several folks here that fall into this category. They're the ones who know the game better than the others (or at least they believe they do). On the Talk Nats forum, I find those in this group truly knowledgeable as opposed to other fan bases on other forums I've looked at."
"Hello all. About ten years ago, I submitted a post dealing with Bryce Harper (after he got tossed for arguing balls and strikes), parents, prodigies and meltdowns. It was fun to see all the discussion. Now that we are in a lull (some might say coma) in the hot stove action and now that I have finished digging out here in Stafford, VA, I decided to dip my toes back into the water once again."
An earlier incident involving Bryce Harper, arguments over balls and strikes, and parental/prodigy meltdowns is recalled. The writer returned during a lull in hot-stove activity and plans a lighthearted or hardcore look at fan types. Die-Hard/Passionate fans exhibit intense loyalty, high energy, deep knowledge, and vocal debate about trades and roster moves; their banter can remain respectful and conclude with 'agree to disagree.' Historian/Traditionalist fans value unwritten rules, strategy, and baseball history, are often older, and sometimes display a 'Get off my lawn' attitude toward younger players.
