Somewhere in the depths of my Etsy searches for wedding ideas over the past year I came across this flowchart. I don't know if I just subconsciously meandered into baseball stuff or if my computer just knows my search history all too well. This may not be a new meme, I'm not sure when this originally came out, but I only found out what a meme was like last year so give me a break. Is it intended to be a joke? Yes, but I've followed every path on this chart and it's also amazingly accurate. For instance, tailgating factors in the determination of about a third of the teams, which is an all-too crucial criterion.
The very first team on the flow chart is the best - do you have a soul? If the answer is no, you are a Yankees fan. Enjoy finding out which team you really should be rooting for.

touch with baseball when his childhood heroes Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, and Jim Gantner retired but the Great Home Run Chase of 1998 reignited his passion. As a student at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Erik became involved with the campus chapter of Habitat for Humanity. With this group Erik traveled to Portland, OR and Baltimore, MD to work on construction projects and help the group raise $25,000 to partially sponsor a house in Milwaukee. Also at UWM, Erik met Peter Nagel. The two attended their first Brewers game together during Opening Weekend 2003. Despite their failure to ignite the coals at their first tailgate, the two had a blast and were soon making weekly trips to the ballpark. Erik has gone on to several colleges and changed careers several times, and has moved all the way out to New Hampshire, but has always stayed true to his baseball roots by holding part-time stadium usher jobs. To this day he looks back fondly on his incredible cross-country journey.
