How to Fake Baseball Fandom

Baseball season is upon us and (especially if you live in Toronto since the Jays' season opener was yesterday and, yeah, they totally won) you may want to think about jumping on the baseball bandwagon this summer. Why, you ask? Well, in my experience, after all the sporting events that I've attended, baseball fans are by far the sexiest. I've been to tons of hockey, basketball, soccer and football games and trust me”the crowd at a baseball game is one that turns heads.

Except, the only heads that are turning belong to the girls who aren't really into the game but are only there to enjoy a sunny afternoon of beer and hot dogs. The guys aren't looking anywhere but the field. So if you want to have any chance at impressing them, you're going to need to get into the game too. Or at least be really good at faking it (and let's hope the faking stops there). Follow these seven easy tips to fake baseball fandom and try to pick up a cutie in a ball cap this season.

5. Learn the words to “Take Me Out to the Ball Game”

I’m pretty sure they play this at every game, at every field so if you don’t know the words, it’s going to be SO obvious that you’re faking it. This song dates back to 1908 so it’s been around for TIME and is basically the unofficial anthem of all North American baseball. Learn the chorus and you’re golden (but be sure to replace “home team” with your team name):

Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd;
Just buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,
I don’t care if I never get back.
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don’t win, it’s a shame.
For it’s one, two, three strikes, you’re out,
At the old ball game.
