the whole picture and image it portrays for me of summer, optimism (it IS never over til it's over), and the beauty and symmetry of the game are what i find so appealing.\n\n3 outs... no artificial clock to dictate the action.\n\na diamond within a semicircle... very satisfying to see!\n\nthe game has been played the same way for generations... a true link to the past greatness.\n\ntradition! the sounds, sights and smells of the park!\n\njon papelbon! (i'm starting to sound like someone i know!)\n\ni remember listening to games on the radio as a young boy, much as my dad (and his dad!) did.  a tie to the past.

Human Nature and freedom of speech.\n\nI don't like Baseball or Football (American version) or Basketball and will say so. \n\nI love the real Footbal (aka soccer), the beautiful game and just shrug if somebody doesn't agree.

I would have to agree, there is nothing interesting about baseball. I think people like it when they aren't athletic enough to play a real sport.

i'd say baseball is the greatest for a few reasons.  firstly, its the sport i played most and was best at as a kid, so that helped fuel my passion for the game.\n\nwithout my personal bias however, baseball is great because it is one of the few games not played with a clock.  there is no time limit, no gun, no buzzer, no horn that will sound to end the game......as long as you dont make outs, you are always in the game and have a chance to win.  like yogi berra said, "it aint over til its over".\n\nand although some people find the pace of a baseball too slow or too boring in general.....with just a little effort and understanding of the game, even at its slowest pace, the game(the mind games) can be fascinating.  those mind games include the battel between a pitcher and a baserunner...stepping off the mound and/or throwing to first to forace a runner back and hopefully make him stay closer to the bag for fear of being picked off.  the mind games between the pitcher and batter, each trying to outguess the other as to what pitch and location that pitch will come.\n\nalso inlcuded is the ongoing "chess match" between the opposing managers.......making the right pitching substitutions, the right pinch hitter moves etc etc.\n\ni love football and hockey and the faster pace those games offer, but baseball is just so much more special.

Pitch at MLB because with a sport for the slow-witted like baseball I might even get myself a spot on the team.\n\nMLB players are so feminine the sport really can't be compared to NFL.

Baseball is my favorite...to play or watch. The best part? All of it! The defense is just as exciting as the offense.

I love watching the Pro Bowl and the All Star Game for Baseball. I think it is such a great way to see the greatest people from each division go face to face, and see how they match up. It is also great to watch how the fans vote, and who has big fan bases. I don't really watch other events, but I do love watching those two. As for rotating, I like how it rotates in baseball, because of all the great parks, but as for football, it is kind of part of the fun that it is in Hawaii.

baseball is the only sport where you can fail 3 out of 10 times and still be considered successful,  besides what is there not to like about baseball. Trying to hit a round ball with a round bat, an inch is the difference between a homerun and a pop up. A sport where strength has nothing to do with your success. Baseball is a real life chess game between teams. I guess if youre into football and all the hitting then youlle be dissapointed by attempting to watch 9 innings of baseball. But baseball is just one of the sports you cant pick up right away and just be good, even if you are a natural athlete, and a players strongest attribute is his head, the real game of numbers. A pitcher can throw a no hitter and still lose, i can just sit here all day and think about what really makes me love baseball. and the guys like pujols, smoltz, clemens is what really make people love the game.
