Not just for Yankees Fans and not just for She Fans! Confessions of a She-Fan: The Course of True Love with the New York Yankees by Jane Heller, is the story of a baseball fan’s rediscovery of the passion that makes the game of baseball so great.

We are honored to present Jane Heller on the Cover the Bases podcast.  Jane is the author of many romantic comedy novels, and you can find out about her titles and what’s on her mind at this Amazon Blog where she posts.  She also has a great Yankees blog that you should all subscribe to, but it’s her thoughts on the recently released book Confessions of a She-Fan that we are most interested in on the podcast.

The story begins when she writes an article and submits Confessions of a She Fan:  The Course of True Love with the New York Yankeesit to the New York Times Sports Page in 2007, indicating her displeasure with the Yankees and requesting a divorce! The fan backlash was loud and clear and caused her to look inward. It sparked the idea for going on the road with the team to write this book.

By hitting the road, Jane was able to see how fans in other cities interact with their local ballclub, whether they have a history of winning or not.  She was able to admit that she had been spoiled by the riches of the Yankee Dynasty, and witnessed baseball fans at the purest level.

During a visit to Kansas City, waiting for the Royals Express bus to head to Kauffman Stadium, Jane has an “Ah-Ha” moment where she interacts with some hard core She Fans.  The connections made during the trip were beyond just the passionate baseball fans, and female fans attending ballgames, it also included Jane’s husband who accompanied her on this journey.
