Re: Why do Brits hate baseball?
According to the missus, Baseball should only ever be experienced live, and is wasted on the telly. Haven't got to a game yet, so i'll have to take her word for it.

It certainly is a different experience seeing it up close and personal. The only trouble is, I get distracted at what's going on overall instead of just watching the game.

I like baseball and the Pirates are the worst team ever. We have a beautiful stadium..PNC park, there is always a party atmosphere, everyone talks to everyone else. The fireworks are spectacular, the food is good. I like tailgating.
And they sell beer!
I don't really watch much of the game

i've seen a few live games and IMo its all shite, slightly better than being on TV as sunshine and a cold beer makes everything better, but still shite

I like to watch it. Not much different to cricket. You have an innnings, Umpires, batsmen, fielders, a homer is hitting a six, being hit by the Pitcher (bowler) is the same as bodyline bowling, caught out, struck out = being bowled the catcher is the wicket keeper, infield players apply to both games, the catcther is padded up as is the wicket keeper, the batter wears protective clothing as does the batsman, a curve ball is a ball with swing on it, one in the dirt is a yorker, both games are played with balls, both games have balls that travel at 100 miles an hour and both games go on too long. Basically the same as far as I can see. What is difficult to understand?
