Ok I am not a baseball fan.
10 minutes ago, I am with a friend and he flips on the game highlights for the LA game. I had to ask him what the St. Louis team was, he laughed and told me cardinals after my first guess was white socks, I still don't know where the white sox are then.
Because we have major sports team in San Francisco, playoff games, just through social attrition I find myself watch and enjoying the time when our teams make it past regular season. I am going to watch the game tonight with friends (and ask a lot of stupid questions that my friends will know I ask).
As an aside I have been to one giants game when my friend gave me 4 tickets for my family. The conversation with my wife was, well we should at least go so my son can see it. It was a night game, once 9pm came we left, about 7th inning. The atmosphere wonderful. We had seats about ten rows behind 1st base. When my son and I went to the bathroom, the visitor team walked right out into the subway/hallway to their put area. That was cool for my son to see all the guys in uniform so close up and all.
