The Best Fans in Baseball (BFIB). It’s a term that will light up the BaseballTwitterSphere like a Michael Bay movie. It’s a term sports media talking heads and broadcasters alike meaninglessly throw around to pander to their beloved “do-things-the-right-way-crowd” which is perfectly encapsulated by the mystique of St Louis and their baseball Cardinals. It’s a term universally panned by non-Cardinals fans and frequently lampooned with the same ire as “Beyonce should have won.” On social media, it’s the most public of inside jokes. WE ARE ALL MAKING FUN OF YOU CARDINALS FANS!
I admit that I have dabbled in the BFIB genre.
