1. The Peanut Guy

You know when he's been there by the mountain of peanut shells left around his seat.

2. The Drunk Guy With His Shirt Off

“Bet you won’t take your shirt off, bro!” “Oh, hell yeah! I’ll take my shirt off, bro!” - typical conversation of two guys who have had way too much to drink in the bleachers, about to take their shirts off.

3. The Guy Wearing His Headphones For The Radio Broadcast

Normally a middle-aged man who came with his wife and he uses the radio broadcast of a way of not having to deal with her.


4. The Instagram Girl

“Can we take a picture for the ‘Gram? I am making a PicStitch for my next post, #SELFIE!”

5. The Fans Who Wear A jersey Of A Team Not Even Playing

Why are you wearing a jersey of Prince Fielder when he was with the Detroit Tigers? 1) He doesn’t even play there anymore! And 2) We are at Target Field in Minnesota, watching the Twins host the San Diego Padres - TWO TEAMS HE DIDN’T EVEN PLAY FOR, EVER.

6.The Fan Who Stands And Blocks Your View

I paid 45 dollars out of my cheap college budget to sit here and look at your back. Thank you so much.

7. The Fan Who Argues Balls and Strikes Even Though He Is In the Nosebleeds

Tickets: $5. Buying a pretzel at the game: $6. Letting everyone in your section know how upset you are with that called third strike: Priceless.

8. Boo Guy

Stop booing and shut up. Your team is down by ten.

9. The Complainer

“Why did we come? It is way too hot,” “They were better last year,” “My favorite player just retired; I don’t know why I even came.” *Normally the fan who pays for parking, so that is why you had to invite him*

10. Has To Do A Scorecard Fan

I admit, this is me: I get there, I buy my dollar scorecard and I settle in as I mark up the 4-6-3 double play and second guess myself the whole game if I scored that fielders choice right or not.

11. The Girl Who Is Wearing Victoria Secret Baseball Gear

*Paid 50 dollars for this shirt and, boy, is it cute.*

12. The Girl Who Is On A Date And Doesn’t Know Jack About Baseball

“So is there halftime or do we sit here the whole time?”

13. The Litter Kid Who Just Wants A Ball

You don’t know where this kid's seat is, or where their parents are, but they come down that aisle as fast as lighting, looking for whoever caught the ball, just so they can ask if they can keep it.

14. The Church Camp Group

They are in the worst seats possible, they came with enough kids for a small army, and they are all wearing the same bright yellow shirt so no one gets lost.

15. The Tapes Everything Mom


Has good enough seats to pull her iPhone up during every at bat of her favorite player, hopeful to get a dinger and post it on her Facebook wall.

16. The Girl Who Just Likes The Players Because They Are Attractive


“I just came to stare at their butts.” “I would love to be Mrs.Trout.”

17. The “I Have Him On My Fantasy Team” Guy

For whatever reason, this guy plays fantasy baseball. He also continuously lets you know how many points he needs to get a win this week.

18. The Die-hard Fan

You bought your season tickets in 1965. You are wearing your only jersey you have ever had. Your team is under .500 by 11 games, but you are still there because they aren’t just a team, they feel more like family.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
