Morrisville, NC -- October 20, 2009 -- A study, led by cardiologist, Dr. Franklin Zimmerman of Columbia University, will use an ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM) to determine whether cheering for your favorite baseball team is hazardous to your health.

But is there more at risk here than just the outcome of the games?
