The off-season is a reminder that we can’t attend every baseball game, no matter how much a fan might want to be at the ballpark. And for fans of baseball, not so much just one specific team, it’s only physically possible to attend one game per day (save for perhaps a doubleheader or Cubs/Whitesox, Yankees/Mets split). As a result, while managers and GM’s spend the off-season gearing up for spring, fans can make adjustments as well in order to make sure they watch as efficiently as possible in the upcoming season. Spending less money, seeing more games (both in person and at home), doing a fan’s part in willing his or her team towards October glory, it all starts in the months leading up to opening day. So what can you do to make a bigger commitment to baseball in 2011?Season Tickets The holy grail of professional sports fandom, season ticket holders are kingpins, even among aficionados.
