Community on a baseball level


One of the greatest things about sports is the way it can connect fans from all sorts of different backgrounds. Black or white, young or old, poor or rich, we all have teams that we want to root for, and sports becomes the equalizer for fans.

Being a Detroit Tigers fan, I have connected with other Tigers fans through Bless You Boys. It has been great. I have been able to share my joys and pains with the fans who have the same thoughts.

Sports really isn't just about the player who play it, rather it also encompasses the fans who watch. Being able to commiserate with other fans who are feeling what I feel helps me work through some of the problems (such as the Tigers' bullpen) and really helps people work through other problems they have.

For sports fans out there, I would suggest finding a sports blog that speaks to you, it becomes a great way to meet other fans and work through your team's problems.
