Guest Sounder Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 I have noticed a higher percentage of people with an unusually high interest in weather are also baseball fans. I think because statistics are such a big part of both, at least that is what has driven the interest for me since I was six years old.Autism is why.
