Instructions

    • 1

      Pick a favorite player based on his ability, personality or stats, and then align yourself with his current team.

    • 2

      Support your local club. Going for the home team makes it easy to attend several games or buy season tickets, find team merchandise and bond with other fans. If you live in Los Angeles, California, for instance, you can root for the Dodgers or the Angels.

    • 3

      Follow family history. If your father has been loyal to a team since his childhood, you may want to uphold the tradition by living and dying by their wins and losses just like he did.

      Listen to the opinions of your friends and consider making their favorite baseball team your own. It'll give you plenty to discuss throughout the season, and you'll always have someone to invite to games.

      Watch televised games on a variety of sports channels if you're having trouble deciding. Find a team with charismatic players and a dynamic style of play that you feel comfortable supporting.
