The concept of the baseball player as a baseball fan has always intrigued me. A lot of players choose not to follow baseball news even to point that they don’t keep up with what the pundits are saying about them. I don’t necessarily blame them. Some in the sports media can be jerks, let’s face it.
That said, it’s obvious from Danny Haren’s press conference in Arizona that he is quite a fan of the game and that’s refreshing to see. Not only does he love the game but he follows it quite closely.
