We launch a new series asking baseball fans five questions about their relationship with the game, featuring our first guest Virgil Brooks who shares his unique journey from casual observer to dedicated minor league enthusiast.

• Virgil's love for baseball began with a post-graduation 10-day MLB road trip visiting seven ballparks
• The 2006 Southern League All-Star Game changed his perception of minor league baseball when he saw Joey Votto playing for Chattanooga
• Baseball connected him to a supportive community of like-minded fans, especially through social media
• Memorable experiences include the 2017 solar eclipse game in Bowling Green and the Rocket City Trash Pandas inaugural home opener
• Virgil has kept score at games for 20 years, maintaining records of every player he's seen and tracking who makes it to the majors
• Baseball offers unique local experiences in each city, with minor league parks showcasing regional flavor you can't find in other sports
