The Five Best Fan-Made Signs

Fan signs are the most entertaining connection between fans and players. It is their way of adding both fun and energy to the game. As far as fans’ dedication to the game goes, what shines more than anything else are those who emphasize their love for baseball through the witty written word. Through the years, there have been a plethora of creative and hilarious examples to choose from. These signs are the poster child for fan participation. Here are five of the most standout fan-written signs to ever be broadcast.

Worth It

Nothing brings a family together like a baseball game. On this mother’s 50th birthday, her son decided to make a joke with a sign, and the mother gives it right back to him with hers. They grab the attention of the camera crew because who doesn’t love a good family bickering moment? I love this because it has nothing to do with the sport; it is just tiny jokes amongst family members that anybody watching can relate to. Remember, not all heroes wear capes; some make hilarious signs.

Go Puppy Go

In this next sign, we have the deal of a lifetime. If this doesn’t light a fire under your favorite team, I don’t know what will. Americans love baseball, and Americans love puppies; the combination of the two is a shoo-in for a great sign. It was there to motivate the team to win even if the players didn’t see it. Whether the Royals won or not, the sign did end up giving this lady the spotlight, if only for a moment. I hope for the sake of all involved parties — but mostly for the puppy — that Kansas City won that night.

The Best Way To Detox Is To ‘Retox’

In this sign, we have baseball’s most rowdy fans doing what baseball’s most rowdy fans do best. No hangover in the world could stop a Chicago Cubs fan from waking up, starting the pre-game early, and then heading over to Wrigley Field to watch the Cubs get a win and make the beer boy lug Bud Lights back and forth for nine innings. The only person that drinks more beers than fans at a Cubs game is a fan who is still drunk from the night before at a Cubs game.

Priorities Honey

You weigh both your options, and you choose accordingly. This fan has his priorities in check. We have here a brave soul who wouldn’t let anything stop him from seeing this game. I like to imagine him getting the phone call and having to sprint out of Angel Stadium, sign in hand. This man knows two things. He knows a good joke, and he knows great hats. Make that three things; this fan knows that tickets do not come cheap, and when the game starts, oh boy, the game starts. Hope parents and child are doing well, wherever they are!

I regret nothing

An engagement ring is for life, but then again, so is seeing your favorite team win a World Series. Here we see how baseball fans sort their priorities, and just how much dedication they will show toward their favorite team. Any baseball fan will tell you that there is nothing better than seeing your team play on the grandest stage of them all. However, this fan will also have quite the story to tell for the rest of her life.
