I hate baseball, which isnt even American anyway.
In fact, none of your major sports are. lol.

Actually I am a gridiron/NFL fan of 30 odd years.

But I am also a big soccer fan, and I will fire a few shots back when soccer gets bashed here.

Interestingly, Jacques Barzun, who died recently, wrote in God's Country and Mine (Boston: Little, Brown, 1954) that one must learn baseball if one wants to understand the American character.
