Thank you to the more than 1,200 people who signed up for the FanGraphs Fan Exchange Program. Congratulations to those of you who saw out the entire week. While everyone got to see their new team win at least once, I do feel obliged to apologize to those of you who wound up with the Nationals and kicked off the week by watching them lose three straight to the Rockies.

Anecdotally, it seems like this experiment was at least a welcome change of pace in the middle of a long baseball season, and a few of you truly committed to the bit, which is great. Nevertheless, I do have (admittedly modest) social science aspirations for this experiment, and in furtherance of that goal, I would like to call on everyone who participated for one last favor:

If you took part in the Fan Exchange Program, and filled out the entrance survey, please fill out the exit survey here.

I’ll look over the data in the coming weeks, so look for a précis of the results sometime around the All-Star break. I’ve also included questions here to gauge the level of interest in repeating this process next season, and what might change in Year Two. If there’s sufficient interest, we’ll do it all again next summer.

Thanks again for your participation, and I look forward to reading your thoughts.
