Do you watch baseball? If you do, you probably have a favorite team. Do you cheer and shout when you watch a game? Are you happy if they win, and sad if they lose. Then you are a true (真正的）fan.
Every team has fans. Even children’s teams have fans. Their parents cheer for them. Sometimes the parents get more excited than the kids!
Fans support (支持) their teams in all hinds of ways. Of course they clap and shout and wear team T-shirts and caps. But some fans go a little further. Some of them paint (用涂料涂) themselves. They color their faces, or even their bodies. Others even get tattoos (图案文身) of their favorite team symbols!
Do you have a favorite mascot? Each team has a different mascot. They are fun and active. Being a mascot would be exciting. You wear a costume (套装) and cheer and clap. Mascots can be anything: rabbits, jet planes, whales... You name it and it’s probably a mascot. Mascots also do tricks and perform for the crowd. Sometimes the mascots of different teams even fight each other!
Being a fan is fun! At the games you get to drink soda and eat snacks. Everyone around you is excited to see the game and excited to see their team win! It’s no fun if your team loses. But there’s always the next game. A good fan never gives up!
