The 7 Line Army has come a long way from ostensibly one guy hoping his favorite player would stay, to hundreds of people making road trips together.  It’s an element of fandom that was missing the first 45 or so years in the franchise, and now has become a thing.  Combined with the snazzy merchandise sold by the founder (way better than league wide template stuff). T7LA has captured the zeitgeist of the 2010s.  Now we just have to get them to realize how incredibly lame He Struck Him Out is and we’ll be all set.
