Harry, why don't you just say that football is for the common man, not
one
such as you.

We understand your feelings.

Basketball and hockey are pretty animated and sometimes exciting. But
Baseball? First it occurs during the nicest months of the year. Who wants
to
be sitting in front of the boob tube watching guys constantly spitting and
adjusting their crotches, when they could be enjoying the great outdoors
instead.
There *is* the excitement of watching the grass grow on the field.

No, I'd rather be boating or fishing. Harry doesn't do much of either, so
watching baseball may be a good way to pass time.

I enjoy football, but baseball is really my favorite professional spectator
sport, probably because I played both in my youth. I never got much out of
basketball or hockey, mainly because I can only dribble with my chin and
fall flat on my ass on skates.

You should have showed up at the lake at the top of Fountain Street,
just above the Parkway. We would have "learned ya" ice skating and
hockey. (Not that I was either a great skater or hockey player, but I
was ok.)
