Subject: RE: Ah... I smell baseball in the airI don’t mind baseball and I think it’s a good way to pass the summer until real sports start. But that’s all it is – I mean how can you play 200 games a year and call it a sport? Come on – please get a grip.
It’s a great bar game – ie you can got to the bar ,have a chat , a few beers and you won’t miss a thing because the very few exciting things that happen are played over and over again.
As for allegiances – well I watched the game for a while on my visits to the USA and didn’t develop any. However I did go to a game and I liked the atmosphere, the rivalry and the ballpark so I chose to follow that team – The Red Sox!! Of course I didn’t know I’d end up living in the area at that time!!
First game – Sox vs the evil Empire on the day that Micky Mantle was buried and the Sox were going for their 13th straight win! Wonderful atmosphere and of course as I supported the sox they lost!!
Still can’t put the game above Football (real type ), Football (where you use your hands ), Rugby or hockey.
