It is a funny thing in sports when fans watch players and get attached to them, it is just a symptom of fandom. Fans in all sports can be a little crazy and over the top but there is a true love for their team and the players on their team. We all get attached to the teams we follow and although we may not have anything on the line there is still a sense that a lot is riding on the game we are watching.

The American League East has long been considered the best division in baseball as they have regularly seen teams at the top of the league. The division contains some of the most legendary teams in the MLB and every year they seem to be on top of the league. That can make it extremely difficult for teams to make a run at the top of the division. With the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox constantly winning the division the other teams find it hard to break through and win.
