I would no longer characterize myself as an active fan. I still enjoy attending games with friends, but I haven't really sat through a game on TV since the Yankees teams of the late 1990s in the Series, except at a party. If the Dodgers can get into the Series, I would watch that; I kind of follow the team in the local news. Nothing against the players, not a slam on their skills, I've just gradually lost interest in most spectator sports and events (I don't sit through the Oscars anymore, either; it used to be a viewing party for my family). I'm more inclined to want to attend a sporting event that is also a spectacle beyond the actual contest; for example, I would love to attend the Monaco Grand Prix in Monte Carlo.
Collecting cards, on the other hand, are something I am probably going to do until I am dead.
