Whoa, hang on a sec...since when was baseball "simple"?
Basketball is simple (throw the ball in the basket)...hockey is simple (get the puck in the net)...soccer is simple (get the ball in the goal). Even NFL football, while not a simple game, has a simple objective...get the ball into the other team's endzone or through the other team's uprights.
Baseball? Move four 90 foot lengths before your team makes three outs...an out being a caught ball before it hits the ground or by tagging the runner or by making a force play at first base...oh, and try to hit a Roger Clemons split finger fastball while your at it.
Yeah, baseball isn't simple. That's my rant for the day.
'soccer is simple'
Go on then, explain the offside rule to me again! :)
