Description

A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist explores the inner lives of America's most obsessive sports fans. Through intimate profiles and expert insights, he reveals what sets ordinary enthusiasts apart from superfan communities.

From the elaborate costumes worn by fans to the experts who study their behavior, Dohrmann delves into the human side of sports fandom. He examines how fandom begins, its effects on everyday life, and when it may go too far.

This book offers an entertaining and insightful exploration of the ways humans find meaning in something bigger than themselves, making it a compelling read for anyone who has ever been passionate about sports or found community through shared interests.
