The Fan Club: Spectacular Stories of Storied Spectators
Head over to mental_floss to read my definitive list of spectator stories, which covers a range of fanatics from The John 3:16 Guy (above) to WFAN host Joe Benigno to Kim Jong-il. This clearly marks the most research I’ve ever done for a blog post, and was a lot of fun to write. If anyone has a random topic on which I could go digging, pass it along.
And then check out my friend Mario’s companion piece on the world’s most rabid fan bases, appearing on YesButNoButYes.
