Yvo Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 The problem with baseball is that it can really drag on for the longest time. Hell it is the only sport I know that requires a "7th inning" stretch and you see the crowd perform strech routines. Not to mention that it seems that half the stadium is empty before the game is over at the 9th inning. Football doesn't require any of that.

San Diego Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Sorry, soccer is not appealing to me at all. I've been to over 10 games of soccer to force myself to watch it and try and understand the rules and regulations of the sport before judging it and I still can not grasp why anyone would go so crazy over such a sport.

Ivand Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Personally is basseball, but I think the most watched sport event in the world is the FIFA Wolrd Cup.

You need to play it, you need to feel the excitement of scoring a goal...

My earlier comment was just my opinion. That's all.

Fred Derf Veteran Posted June 28, 2004 Veteran Share Posted June 28, 2004 The problem with baseball is that it can really drag on for the longest time. Actually one interesting thing about baseball is that it is one of only a few sports where the game clock does not play a major role. The home team could be down 15-2 after the first nine and a half innings and they still have a chance to win it in the bottom of the ninth.

=NickJ= Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Incidently, why is the World series called the World Series when it only contains teams from the US?

Fred Derf Veteran Posted June 30, 2004 Veteran Share Posted June 30, 2004 Incidently, why is the World series called the World Series when it only contains teams from the US? Well, it gained a bit more legitimacy when the Montreal Expos and the Toronto Blue Jays joined the league. Of course, the Expos may soon relocate.
