Some teams have rich and successful histories,while others...not so much. Some are newer while some date tothe 19th century. Still others have nearly unlimited budgets whilecompetitors shuffle along with tight grips on their wallets. Thedynamics between teams and their fans are affected by thesedifferences, and the best way to understand them is to experiencea game in every ballpark.
