* In the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Reed Richards]] has mused on how the Baseball team that is better statistically (even within one game) doesn't always win.
* Similarly, [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Spider-Man]], the classic superhero nerd, is a Mets fan. Besides that he's from the Mets' [[UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity home borough of Queens]], there is no way that Spider-Man, champion of the underdog, the struggling survivor, the ''ne plus ultra'' of perseverance, would ever root for the Yankees.
* Kitty Pryde of the ComicBook/XMen, in addition to being an engineering and computer genius, has characterized her never-give-up attitude several times by saying "I'm a Cubs fan!" (she was born and raised in Deerfield, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago).

Our nerd (or "seamhead", as he may proudly label himself) loves America's pastime. He can tell you who led the Federal League in on-base percentage in 1915 (Benny Kauff). He can instantly quote Bob Gibson's 1968 ERA (1.12). He can recall, from memory, the entire starting lineup of the 1995 [[UsefulNotes/MajorLeagueBaseball Atlanta Braves]] squad that won the World Series.[[labelnote:lineup]]Marquis Grissom, center field; Jeff Blauser, shortstop; Chipper Jones, 3rd base; Fred [=McGriff=], 1st base; David Justice, right field; Javy Lopez, catcher; Ryan Klesko, left field; Mark Lemke, 2nd base.[[/labelnote]] He'll also be prone to having a massive baseball card collection and surrounding himself with books on the game.
