Devotion to Baseball

Fans often develop a deep, almost religious devotion to their favorite baseball teams, as illustrated by Sister Vincent Siser's experiences. During her tenure as a teacher in the 1950s, she was able to bond with her students over baseball, collecting cards while still engaging them in their work. Her passion extended to sneaking away to see exhibition games, showcasing how the love for a team can transcend daily responsibilities. This relationship with a team can bring both joy and heartbreak, as fans invest their emotions in the outcomes of games, often treating players like family.
