My description of baseball is “two minutes of action packed into two-and-a-half hours.” IMO, televised baseball is the worst. Live baseball (at the stadium) is an improvement, as there are many more sights (not just what the TV camera is focusing on) and smells (popcorn, beer) to make the experience far less boring. Would I go to a World Series game if I had tickets, yes; on TV, absolutely not.
Have boycotted and have not watched a baseball game since they went on strike in the early 90’s, right before a World Series. I no longer watch any sports. They don’t miss me and I don’t miss them.
I agree 100%
I don’t know the last time I watched a baseball game. The season is WAY TOO LONG!
Nope I’m good.
Not gonna watch. Besides, why is it called “World Series” when it’s only teams within the USA?
Canadian teams are also included. The Little League World Series includes reams from all over the world.
I have no interest in the World series, bu i have watched the Little League games.
They play for the love of the game, not the $$$$.
I’m with you Bob. That’s the only baseball I watch.
Seems to be many 4 or 5 time reruns. so, watching BB is not a rerun.
Too many more interesting things to watch in addition to other interests. Fall is a fabulous time for travel and planning next year’s trips.
A bunch of overpaid brats!!
Nope, same for NFL, NHL, NBA. The announcing is insufferable on all and the players are overpaid whiners.
That pretty much sums it up for me too. If I go to a baseball game it’s a local minor league team where tickets are still affordable and the atmosphere is still about fun.
Absolutely! As a Texan, the Rangers are my team. Hopefully this is their year😃. The excitement of a 9th inning comeback and an 11th inning walk off home run makes up for any slow periods. I have however been guilty recording a game and fast forwarding through the commercials. Go Rangers!!
I’m an avid baseball fan. The athleticism of the players is unmatched by any other sport. The D-Backs in 7. And the Tigers next year!
Absolutely! We still love baseball and the World Series.
Baseball died with the DH.
I do not follow professional sports in protest to the insultingly high salaries paid to the players, management, and owners. When a single player can make more in one game, than an American laborer (me) makes in a lifetime, they don’t deserve my support. The same applies to paid professional college sports.
A baseball player a couple decades ago with the Toronto Blue Jays that I knew quite well explained to me perfectly about his at that time 4 Million dollar salary. “I am one of a handful of people on the planet that can throw a fastball nearly 100 mph, and for strikes. THAT is why I am paid what I am paid.” Anyone else throw a fastball 100 mph during your free time? I can’t. Supply and demand, supply and demand.
I totally agree with Sven Yohnson below.
I agree with Sven and Bob that salaries are outrageously enormous. Yet who of us that had the talent or smarts to command such compensation would say, “oh that’s way to much, just reduce that amount by half”! I think most of us would take what the market would offer. I know I would. But, I am a Sportsaholic, so I hold my nose and enjoy.
I will listen to the series on radio and attend game 3.
I watch NO sports! The best day to go shopping is Super Bowl Sunday, only not in the TV department – ha.
I’ve been a Cubs fan since 1968 but they, and MLB, flipped me the bird when they went political. I didn’t walk away from them…they abandoned me. I missed it for a while but no more.
Agreed…And I used to LOVE baseball. I was even a Little League coach for a few years.
How did they go political?
I might catch a game if there’s nothing good on.
I watched last nights game….
Watching a replay today as too nervous to watch much of it last night. It was a great win for the Texas Rangers and of course, I want them to go all the way!
Hmmm!! What happened to the Blue Jays???
Being from Toronto and quite a fan, ouch. We just weren’t good enough, but maybe next year! At least you have the Oilers! “Bazinga!”
We don’t watch sports
We love the fall classic, even though our team didn’t make it. Last nights game was really good!! Glad to see some smaller market teams in it to win it all!
I am philosophically opposed to any form professional sports. There are more than enough worthless entertainment options available to distract people from the important things in life.
We always watch, even though my husband is a lifelong Braves fan and my team is the Athletics, we live in Arizona now so Diamond Backs all the way.
Nope gave up on MLB when they moved the All Star Game out of Atlanta and hurt all the small black owned businesses there.
NO!
I have lost my wife to Baseball during the season and will be glad when the Series is over . I do not watch, but must listen to the play by play after each game.
Nope. I became an Atlanta Braves fan when they moved there from Milwaukee in 1966 (Atlanta is ~2 hours from where I grew up and now live.). Since then baseball season ends for me when they play their last game.
Go Diamondbacks!
Will not watch the world. series, as. my son plays both high school varsity football and baseball. His Friday night game (Wilcox. HS, against their rival, Los Gatos game was a better nail biter than any on-tv game. Even though my son’s team lost 24-21, they were still driving forward for three first downs from 58 seconds to 4 seconds, before the game was called.
No World Series, or Super Bowl can match that game.
