Conference Notes


        I feel that the meeting was very helpful. We fixed my research proposal and pointed it into the direction of a persuasive essay. I want to emphasize the importance of the fan in baseball. I will ask the question of “defining something” defining the importance of the fan. We talked about the three components in baseball, which are the fans, players, and the organization. I am looking forward to writing the five-page essay and getting to express my opinion as a fan.

Defining something ….
-       The equal importance of the fan.

Research Proposal

Research Question

Based on the three components of baseball; the fans, players, and the organizations, fans are not taken as seriously. Should fans be considered of equal importance as the players and the organizations that run them? 

Research Thesis

Some people feel that the only main components of baseball are the players and the organizations that run them, but the real key concept in baseball is the fans. I want to emphasize the equal importance of the fans.  There needs to be more of an effort to treat the fans better to keep them coming back. The only way fans voices can be heard is through the writings of sport journalist.  Even with these imperfections in baseball why do fans keep coming back and call themselves “fans”?

I would also give my opinion from a personal experience of being a baseball fan myself. I would share my opinion on the subject and tell how I feel about the conditions baseball fans are placed in.

I would also provide objections to help prove my point. Some people feel that baseball fans come to the game no matter what. Some people feel fans only come if the team is a winning team. Those statements art not true you can have a team like the ……(example) who has a loosing team but their fans are rapid.

  1. your thesis about the fan aspect of baseball is a great idea. One way you could show the importance of the fan is talking about what would happen if fans stopped watching all together. You can talk about the fact that fans pay for the salaries, the stadiums, and any other expense.
