Why we make certain choices on things like baseball players depends on a variety of things . In many cases we don't know why we find ourselves attracted to one team or player. It's not like eating food which is a matter of taste. It's something we can't put our finger on except we, for some strange reason, are drawn to that particular team or player. It's the same thing as when you are walking down the street and some person who you have never seen before passes by and for some reason you want to reach out and swat him/her. It's possible that it could be the aura that that particular person exudes, the way he/she walks, the look on the face. Who knows? The point is that we make odd choices that we have no earthly reason for doing other than that it strikes our fancy at that point in time.
