Part of a good game's charm is its pace. Watching guys standing around spitting tobacco juice and scratching their balls does not interest me. Probably less of that in northern Michigan than sw Florida. 😄 -- Sent from my iPhone 6+ |

Probably less of that in northern Michigan than sw Florida. ? Certainly. They have hockey here, a fist fight, occasionally interrupted by some kind of skating game. SW Florida has lots of baseball, mostly northern teams coming down every winter to train where it is not snowing and a ****load of other northerners coming to watch. A lot of times you can get a free ticket for the farm teams, just by buying a slurpee or a hot dog at the shop and rob. The real teams can still be seen pretty cheap most of the time. Way less than watching them up there. |

Loved listening to baseball in the summer on the radio when I was a kid. In the early 1950s, I don't remember exactly when, I saw my first major league baseball game *in color* at the home of a friend whose parents had *big* money. I'm pretty sure it was a Brooklyn Dodgers game...the Bums were my favorite team. |

Too many players on the field just standing around picking their noses, spitting, and scratching their balls. Is it the ball scratching that gets you excited? |

Baseball is a game of finesse, patience, intellectuality, sportsmanship, and more, all attributes that obviously would have no appeal to a nekulturny asshole like you. |
