“We picked the Red Sox because they lose. If you root for something that loses for 86 years, you're a pretty good fan. You don't have to win everything to be a fan of something.”

“All literary men are Red Sox fans - to be a Yankee fan in a literate society is to endanger your life.”

“some people might argue that a fan who roots for a losing franchise isn't a very smart fan, but you have to be pretty crafty in the head to continually enjoy cubs baseball. who do you think is smarter? the Yankees fan who can't be happy just getting to the World Series? or the Cubs fan, who can somehow manage to have the best summer of his life watching his team finish 17 games out of first place”

“Do something because YOU love it and you will always have at least ONE fan.”

“Sometimes you have to sacrifice something you love, if you don't want to lose everything you have.”

“True baseball fans do not cheer for their teams to win; they cheer for them not to lose. Victory does not come with joy, it comes with relief. Losing causes only pain.”
