| I MAY HAVE BOOBS, but I really do know what I’m talking about. |
| Wednesday, October 19, 2005 |
The common perception is that girls do not know anything about baseball. This is the common perception because it is generally true. Sometimes you’ll see a chick with a baseball hat on, but you know it’s really there to cover a bad hair day. Some girls will claim to be Yankee fans, but couldn’t name a single player other than Derek Jeter (because he’s ‘so hot!’ of course). Others will try to play along for their boyfriend’s sake; these are the girls you’ll see at a playoff game playing with their cell phones as their man stampedes three rows of fans to catch a Sheffield foul ball.
This is where I come in. I’m the chick that’s reading Moneyball on the train. I’m the chick skipping class to watch the ALCS. I’m the chick getting in a fight about Ortiz’s defense with two Bosox fans…and winning. I’m the chick who scoffs when I see people wearing Yankees jerseys with the names on the back (that is not authentic!). I’m the chick explaining the balk and the drop-third strike to her nephews.
I’m also the chick who constantly has to convince people that I do know what I’m talking about, despite the fact that I am indeed a female. I can hold my own with the most die-hard fans, and in most cases I probably know more than they. I know about trades, what’s happening down on the farm, managerial strategies, steroid rumors, the value of the lefty specialist, and the downfalls of the designated hitter.
Or course, I’m still a typical chick in some ways. I tend to get a tad emotionally attached to the players (who care’s if Bernie’s hitting .250? He seems like such a nice guy!), and I always bring my eyeliner to the stadium, in case I need to touch up between innings. But don’t let that fool you. I am the Yankees Chick.

I commend you on winning your argument with Red Sox fans over Ortiz's defense! I assume your position was that his defense sucks, but lets be honest; only George Bush could lose that argument!
Keep on spreading the Yankee word out there in sunny CA...

If you're a true fan and not just out to be 'cool' because you're a girl who loves sports, then why talk about that fact so much and drive home the point? Seems to me that if you're really just a true fan, then you'd just do your thing, not keep talking about yourself and how much you know and try to persuade everyone.
