This week, we're un-fucking sports fandom with journalist and baseball lover Stacey May Fowles, purveyor of the excellent Baseball Life Advice newsletter and eponymous memoir.

Fowles, a Blue Jays obsessive, recalls the story of her first formative experience with baseball fandom -- how it was marred by one dude's decision to be a huge creep, and how, 20 years later, things haven't changed much. But things don't have to be so bleak for women sports fans, and Fowles offers three key tips to making baseball stadiums -- or your sporting arena-field of choice -- more welcoming.
