Logan’s Loft and the joy of grassroots fandom

Recently, a friend posed to me that most classic of sports fan questions: Why sports? Why baseball? I babbled on about belonging, finding community, and relationship-building, but what I really should have done is simply told her about Logan’s Loft.

Next time you’re at T-Mobile Park on a Logan Gilbert start, turn to the left field bleachers and track your eyes ever so slightly to the right of the foul pole. Chances are good that you’ll see a small, golden yellow banner strung up along the upper platform. This is Logan’s Loft, and it says as much in simple type across the front.
