I have become a Chicago Cubs fan by default, because Rockford loves them. And without Rockford, I wouldn’t be watching baseball at all. But lately I’ve been wondering whether I’ve been backing the right Major League Baseball team.* I know you’ve all had this same internal dilemma,** so I’m happy to point you to this magnificent flow chart from Interpretation by Design, which will guide you to your ideal baseball team.
It guided me straight to the Detroit Tigers. YoungNichole was a fan of the Tigers, and the first MLB game YoungNichole attended? The Tigers. Does this mean I’m abandoning the Cubs? No. Does this mean I’ll be watching more baseball? I very much doubt it. What it does mean is that this chart made me laugh, and I do still love the Tigers.
So. Which team should you root for?
*No I haven’t.
*No, I’m pretty sure you haven’t.
Mariners. Huh.
I’m calling taurus defecation on your contention that the chart led you to Detroit. No way you answered “in the face” to that last question. Also, I’m not an Oakland A’s fan simply because I’m a red-blooded American who would rather watch some bone-crushing foozeball rather than Baseball. The only thing good about this chart is the first question, which made me giggle like a schoolgirl.
In trying to be honest to the questions, I find myself at the “This country is being ruined by…” and don’t find an option for “Both Republicans and Democrats.” I guess that leaves me no other option but to follow Cricket.
You clearly don’t know me very well, Perry Mason. I am a seething ball of anger. Just ask my husband.
