baseball. there's something so relaxing about hangin out with your friends, watching the game while still conversing, knowing that you can anticipate action and things can be exciting at those moments when the game is tight and the bases are loaded. it's a pretty unique sport to, in that one single play can make such a difference. in most other sports, you can really only score one point at a time. In hockey or lacrosse, for example, you can only get one goal on a play, so if your team is down by 3 there's still a long way to go. in baseball, if you're down by 3 and the bases are loaded, one swing of the bat can change everything. you can get a come-from-behind win on a single play, without having to tie the game first. i also really like the way there's never a break in the action. you get your commercial breaks in between innings, when they're making a player substitution. you know that you'll never have to worry about having things get exciting and then 'welllll noww it's time for a one minute tv time out'.
but hey, i grew up watching baseball, playing baseball, so i'm always going to love it.
