""Take me out to the ball game, Take me out with the crowd. Buy me some peanuts ..."
 
Anyone into American baseball?

Any great baseball moments that you will cherish and pass onto your great great great grand kids?


... if so, keep them to yourself. Seriously ... what does American baseball mean to you?

I think it is a great team game. Go WHITE SOX.

The best part of baseball is when it ends.....its fucking boring. The FDA should approve its use for insomina.

Frankly I'd rather strain puke through my teeth than ever watch another baseball game.

Absolutely nothing....so why spoil it by being surrounded by thousands of dickheads and being forced to watch a bunch of 'roid pumping pansies miss a ball every 5 minutes?

and the cheerleaders obviously....

Incidently have you been to a Schaumburg Flyers game yet? It's cheap - less then $10 if I remember correctly - but it's good entertainment for a few hours.

Nope - i've passed the 'stadium', but not seen i game.
I'd be worried about turning up and watching them with about 7 other people in the ground.

I have to say that the Cell and Wrigley both have their good points - the bleachers at wrigley are good fun, especially if i wear my sox shirt :)

Bleachers tickets at Detroit Tigers costs $8, as Davy says, hotdogs, beers, sunshine.......it's ace.

I find the whole thing rather amusing to be honest, but i suppose if i had to watch the marlins every week it might get a bit tired
