As well as being a Padres fan I make a living teaching and researching about the passions of sports fans. I'm going to be in and around San Diego in early June (after going to a sports history conference in Orlando), and am looking to interview sports fans about the joy they find in thinking and talking about sports statistics.

Please let me know if you're interested in participating in the study - the formal details are below the jump.

Do you enjoy finding out about and discussing sport statistics? If so you are invited to participate in a study exploring the passion some sport fans have for sports statistics.

The study is being conducted by Dr Matthew Klugman of Victoria University (Melbourne, Australia), and involves being interviewed about sport statistics for around half an hour.

If you are interested in participating in this study please contact Dr Matthew Klugman, matthew.klugman@vu.edu.au.
