As much as you love your boys of summer, have you ever written baseball RPF? Just wondering....
You know, I never have. Some of them can be really cute together too, but as soon as I start to find myself like broshipping in any way (my precursor to relation-shipping - I stop myself. Because we trade our guys at the drop of a hat and it will only leave me heartbroken (it usually does anyways, I just get attached and they are gone). Like Miguel and Prince - they were adorbs together, had a secret handshake and everything. I kinda thought about writing them some fic and then bam, Prince is gone.
Back in my day - /shakes stick/ - we didn't trade like this. We kept the same guys, we got a team to learn to work together, it was a family. They don't do that anymore.
But if I had known about slash-fic (or fanfic in general) or even the concept of friendship-fic as a kid, I am sure I would have. The 1980s saw a Tigers team that not only took World Series, but stole hearts as well. They were a family. And my two boys - the second base/shortstop double play combo - Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker would have been at the top of my list. I am still in love with them as players, people and a combo team we have never seen the likes of since.

That fucking goat, man. Fuck that goat.

But, no. I've never written baseball RPF. ;)
