The Cincinnati Reds have a new feature at Great American Ballpark that they are breaking out when the Chicago Cubs, and their newfound waves of fans, are in town – The Bandwagon Cam.

This is great. I’ll be honest though – I’m jealous. I wish the Orioles had done this about a decade ago for “Pink Hat Nation” AKA Boston Red Sox fans from Severna Park and Arlington. For that matter, I wish the team across the street, the Baltimore Ravens, would do it when the Pittsburgh Steelers are in town.
I get it – fans like teams who do well, and winners attract more fans. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t call people out for bandwagon-hopping.
