It’s interesting how the Chicago Cycling Club quantifies speed into categories.
- Social: 12 to 14 mph
- Touring: 14 to 18 mph
- Training: 18 to 25 mph
How about when you are watching a baseball game at the park? How can you quantify your level of attention? Or maybe level of rowdiness. For some it may be the number of beers.
- Slight yelling: x to x number of beers
- Falling over rows to retrieve ball: x to x number of beers
- Streaking across field: x to x number of beers
But I don’t drink at ballgames. Hmmm, is there other ways to quantify the watching of baseball? Or how about level of baseball fan.
- Fan: 1 to 2 articles of clothing related to team
- Nut: 2 to 3 articles of clothing, plus baseball mitt
- Psycho: 3 to 4 articles of clothing, plus mitt, plus facepaint.

I fall into the pyscho territory. Shirt, hat, socks, shorts, wristbands, strikeout stickers, mitt (if in outfield), and facepaint (when it’s the playoffs or end of season).
it’s posts like these that leave me wondering how you never became an art historian.
you don’t drink at ballgames? why? what’s wrong with you?
