A friend of mine was just telling me today how much he hated watching baseball but he will sit there and play baseball video games all day, go to games once in awhile, talk baseball, wear baseball shirts/hats etc and will play baseball. He's always been a Mets fan, but I've asked him numerous times if he saw something in a game that day and he had no clue what happened. Yet we had a long discussion not long ago over whether RA Dickey would win the Cy Young award. Seemed so odd to me.
I tried to get him into collecting the C55/56 Hockey cards, since he is a huge fan but the prices were too high for him. He would've been interested at $30 each, more for stars, but not $100 for low grade commons

Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history.
