Things You'll Need:
- Jersey or cap of his favorite team
- Research ability
- Internet access (not mandatory)
- Open mind
-
Step 1
Familiarize Yourself with the Game. There are many books and internet sites that will give you the basics of baseball. They more knowledgeable you are beforehand; the more impressed he will be when you know what a double play is.
-
Step 2
Know the Teams. You don’t have to memorize every team in major league baseball. But you should know who your husband’s favorite team is, and their rivals.
-
Step 3
Adopt Your Husband’s Favorite Team. Nothing impresses a man more than having his wife root for his hometown team right alongside of him.
-
Step 4
Keep the Questions To A Minimum. Your husband knows that you do not know the game inside-and-out. So, a few questions throughout the game will be accepted. But questions after every single pitch will not be.
-
Step 5
Get the Gear. Your husband has a jersey and a cap. So can you.
-
Step 6
Show Your Excitement. If your husband cheers at a particular moment, you cheer as well. Nothing says “I’m just here but not involved” like sitting on the couch with a blank stare, while your husband does the waka-waka dance on the living room floor.
-
Step 7
Show Your Frustration. Not at him for being a sports addict, but rather at the team for getting beat or doing something stupid. He will, so should you.
-
Step 8
Give Him Space In A Loss. If his team loses, especially if it is a big game, he will be angry at the end. Tell him you are angry too, even if you don’t mean it, and allow him a few minutes to get over it. Trust me, he will.
