Yeah, I agree. And unlike basketball and football, baseball doesn’t have a clock. You’ve got to pitch and get those last three outs. There’s no running out the clock. And have you ever noticed that the last minute of an NBA game lasts an hour? Baseball is also a more difficult game to master. Danny Ainge couldn’t play baseball but was an NBA standout. Ditto, Elway. Neither could cut the mustard in professional baseball. Sorry, but I’m not impressed with a seven footer dunking a basketball. But I’m immensely impressed with the fact that Joe Sewell once had over six hundred at-bats and struck out only four times. I’m also impressed that Babe Ruth hit more home runs in a single season than any other team in the American League. And yes, baseball is much more cerebral than the other two. There are more great books written about baseball in a year than all the books ever written about basketball and football. Basketball and football may be more popular, but so what; rap and hip hop are more popular than Beethoven and Mozart. And I’m sick and tired of a bunch of inarticulate morons expressing their so-called individuality with tattoos all over their bodies. Expressing individuality my ass, They’re merely copying what millions of others are doing.
Want a real game? Try lacrosse. There ya go.
