Well, it couldn't be for the utter lack of a sport in that game, so your reason is as good as if not better than most.

Actually, here in Europe baseball bats have only one use and no one wants to be on the receiving end of it

If you don't count TV, I haven't seen a baseball ball (or whatever it's called) in my whole life.

I've been hit with a baseball bat before, I know that it isn't even the best tool for the job. Pretty much, baseball fails on all counts. The bats, the balls, the game, the fans.

Meh, I saw a cricket game once. Baseball can't possibly be worse.

We've once played baseball in school. Not sure if it had the original rules but it played pretty much like something we regularly played except with six bases, multiple people per base and the runner throwing the ball instead of batting it (Brennball, similar to Pes├â┬ñpallo). Biggest difference was that there was a whole lot less running because people couldn't hit that stupid ball.

Pes├â┬ñpallo FTW \o/

Ohhh, I'd forgotten that baseball is basically rounders.

I like playing. Mostly becuase I like hitting stuff with a baseball and watch it fly around cause it reminds me a jedi defelcting laz0rs.

The actual parts of baseball are fun. Hitting is fun, catching is fun, passing is fun, and running is fun. The problem is you will only do one of those maby once every 5-10 minutes in an actual game, if not less.

Baseball is alright, though, when I used to play, I seemed to have a bad habit of accidentally hitting the pitcher in the head with the ball when I was up to bat.

I prefer jogging.

cricket ftw! Its crap to watch, but its great because...

1.) If you actualy go to a game, the whole point is eating loads, having BBQ's, getting absolutely battered etc (im off to one tomorrow ^^ )
don't even bother watching it..

2.) If you watch the results on TV, it's just like some nutter has decided to put up lists on numbers and is playing a big joke on everyone watching.

3.) Its better than baseball (i never want to live through another game of it again) which isnt even as bad as...

4.) American Football. Words cannot describe how much of a joke it is..

err im a bit out of it tbh, im not sure what i typed makes sense, or rather, the way i typed it.

all that matters is that i know what i mean

Booo, football is tonnes of fun. Boring to play, but fun to strategize and watch.

I prefer baseball to cricket. I play baseball at a local club. It's faster than cricket, which can take up 6 hours a day for a one day match, or a test match, which is five days in a row

. And you're also at least doing something when you play, as opposed to wishing you had a deckchair when your a fielder in cricket

.
Having played cricket as well, it is much more fun to watch it than to play it. When you watch it, it gives you the excuse to drinks lots of beer at home. Plus, you can always walk away from it when it gets too boring. As it usually does.

American football fails. Association football for great freedom.

I played it some 2 times, when a kid. It was kind of a fun way to spend some time. But i also agree that baseball sucks to watch. I would actually have to get payed to watch a game (unless i could see it close and it was beeing played with such oriental babes /drool).
