What does rooting for Alex Rodriguez say about us?
Brad Penner-USA TODAY SportsPerceptual differences are a funny thing. Baseball is not immune to these human biases and perceptive lens, and we as fans find ourselves disagreeing, arguing, and debating the fine points of what are--or, what should be--the same events for all of us. Of course, baseball only has some sort of meaning or significance once we infuse it with such. There is no way we can denote the difference between a ".300 hitter" and a ".200 hitter" without both tallying the events to give it a number, and also having an associated meaning with what being a .300 hitter or .200 hitter really means.
