She's OK when I go to White Sox and Brewers games (like this Friday night to see Puig in Milwaukee), or even overnight trips out of town with buddies for games. I'm active in SABR and go to the convention every year. I have baseball books strewn all over the house.
She's so OK with my baseball craze that she bought me a first pitch off the mound at a Tiger game for Christmas in 2012, and a year membership to the Hall of Fame last year, and we are going on a week long driving trip to Cooperstown passing through Toledo, Detroit, Toronto, Syracuse and Pittsburgh to see games along the way.
So I think she would be forgiven if she hammered me for paying as much attention to a fictional British baseball league as I do to real baseball games. And I really do. But she is so cool about it, she'll ask me how the league is going, and in a genuine I-care-about-you-and-your-interests way, not in a snarky, ironic or sarcastic you're-such-a-loser way.
I love my wife.
