It seems as if there are two kinds of sports fan. The fan with their team, and the fan who loves the sport and has a favorite team. This couldn't be any more evident with the upcoming World Series. This series is about to be incredible. It'll be real solid baseball with MVPs and soon-to-be superstars. But the only thing people talk about is how low the ratings will be. That's because people aren't really ...
