If you still haven't picked a team two games into the World Series, try again next year.

^ what dave said. if you want to support the Dodgers, do it for a whole year first.

The way I see it, there are a limited number of reasons for KmikeyM to adopt a baseball team: as a casual (but expensive!) business outing; as an exercise in statistics; and as a true fan who develops an emotional connection to a given team. I reject the last option outright. As @davehayden implies, you can't manufacture a genuine love for a team on command, and to do so at this point in life would be to sully the whole enterprise. That kind of love derives from going to the ballpark as a kid and eating Crackerjack and root root rooting, etc. Those days are past. The middle reason also lives on shaky ground. To my mind, while baseball has become more complex and interesting to certain stat-heads, I would argue that its entertainment value to the seasoned fan has diminished. The rise of "absolute outcomes" (i.e. home runs and strikeouts) has sapped the game of much strategy. Case in point, the first two games of the current World Series have seen some 90% of runs scored via the long ball. That's boring. Then there's the businessman's angle -- the baseball game as a business development opportunity. I am familiar with this angle from my own father's days as a season ticket holder. But that was the 1980s, before every seat was a luxury box and the only people who could afford the luxury of giving away games were corporations and megarich. All of this to say, it doesn't seem that baseball fandom is the best bang for your buck. Whew. To brass tacks. How does baseball fandom improve KmikeyM's value? Based purely on how you might spend your time, it seems more a distraction than a value-add. As a lover of baseball, someone who gets immense enjoyment (in spite of myself) from watching a high-leverage at-bat, I wish you that joy. And in fact, I would LOVE to watch a hard-fought World Series game with you and talk through the decisions, the highs, the lows, the strategy. That would be a joy for me. But until you can convince me and the other shareholders that a late-onset baseball addition can further the K5M project, I have to vote nay.

If this were a vote on "Become a baseball fan" then I would agree 100% with Thomas King. But, I'm reading it as a vote on "Cheering for the new hometown team in the World Series, which incidentally means paying attention to baseball for the first time". I am a casual fan of baseball, and I think the energy around a world series run in your city is not something to be missed. I would assume and hope that true baseball fandom would be up for another vote.

All work and no play makes the share price stagnate

I fail to see the economic benefit to KmikeyM or the shareholders of paying attention to the game.

Thomas' analysis FTW!!

I doubt that you will "become a baseball fan" after one season. More likely you will go with the flow for one season, and then lose interest. I mean, baseball is hella boring, you are more interested in the current hype.

'Stros or no's

Baseball is both tedious and stressful, an excellent alternative to relaxation for the perpetual executive.

Loving the Dodgers is not just about being a baseball fan. It's about integration into your adopted city! It's about community! It's about a game played outside at night at a time of the year in which there are a precious few cities that are pleasant to be outside for a four-hour stretch into the middle of the night. Why vote not to care about a thing?! Care, damnit, and get the t-shirt!
