You comment about baseball fans was dead on. A lot of people claim to know the game well, but, when you talk strategy and such, they get exposed. I don't lose any sleep over it, who really cares, but it's true. Even at my old job, where we televised baseball out the ass, there was a distinct lack of knowledge beyond stats and standings.
The best is going to a game and listening to the pedantic fans try to "explain" the game to their less knowledgeable friends "Ok, that was a suicide squeeze.....a good time for a squeeze is with the bases loaded and nobody out"
I love those people for occasional comments but when they keep a running commentary I want to punch them. I also love people who cheer wildly from the bleachers as a foul ball or ball right out of the infield dirt gets hit. And people who say "sac fly!" on a 2 out fly ball.
