Great post. Too funny and completely accurate. The disturbing part is that it made me start stressing about which stereotypical fan I am. I have happily come to the conclusion that I am a healthy mixture of all of the above....minus the centerfold mom and bucket smasher.

Well, obviously you are not Red Eye either ... or your post would have read something like :
Far out ... I laughed about that like right after I figured out what you said Dude ... I was like totally paranoid because people were like looking at me trying to figure out which kind of fan I was ... Can God make a conclusion like so heavy that he can't figure it out ? ... Man ... I was cuttin' class during Algebra... but whats everything else minus centerfold Mom & bucket smasher ... whoa! ... where'd these 12 inch balls come from ....

I like the combination of Plastic cup Pete and Eagle eye. They drink out of the same coffee cup from 8am until 10pm. The later in the day the further down the fence they get. That way they have better access to the cooler in the truck!!!

I would also like to submit:

The Control Freak Team Mom- usually heads all fundraisers, has something in her softball purse to sell you, and is dressed from head to toe in team name and colors. Could be substituted on the field at any time.

Scouter Scott- is seen at own daughters game for @ 5 minutes, but can give you the scouting report on every other game going on at the same time. Usually ends up questioning the coach on why we don't do something the way XXX team does it.

Or the Mom who has a snackbar in her purse trying to fundraise money for Nationals. I saw this one time and it was hiliarious. She was selling candy, hair ties etc. I thought for sure she had a cup-o-noodles somewhere in that bag. Now that I recall her hair was the same color as the team uniforms.

"The Famous California Drive By Parent"
These are the parents that barely even slow down enough for their DD to jump out of the car. Coaches can't pick them out cause they never see them. You have sightings of them at games like "Bigfoot".

And they drop them off with 1 water for a 3 game day in July and no food or money while the mom goes and buys another designer purse. Nothing like travelball daycare.

They are like magicians. When you look for them at the end of the day the kid is gone and all you see a Benz speeding away. You are left short. 1 hot dog, 1 nacho, 3 waters, 1 soda, and a bag of flaming hot cheetohs while "Drive By"is speeding away..

I had a couple of those back in Rec ... but often they would be the very last to pick their DD up ... usually at least a half hour late ... We did have one in travel who always hit up the other Coach for hot dog money while her parents were within view ...

Oh I dunno - let us not be too quick to judge. This game could use a few more California Drive By Parents.
