Went to a Mets game today, it was the
second time that I've attended a baseball game live. While I
enjoy the whole event (heckling, 7 dollar hotdogs etc) within the
social excursion context, I'm still going to take a stand right now and
come out and say it: Baseball is a fucking boring
sport.
While I can give all sorts of evidence thereof, such as how there are
18257185 games per season so each win/loss is meaningless, how if you
don't play fantasy MLB then there's no point in following any players,
or how the legitimacy of the sport itself is questionable w/ the
pedestrian and common-place "juicing", I need only to cite 1 singular
piece of evidence to prove my point:
The score-sheet that fans bring to the game and diligently fill out
play by play. So you see? Even the enthusiasts admit that
the sport is such a bore that they have to
assign themselves
homework just to pass the
time! Way to go America, way to pick the worst national pasttime
ever. Couldn't you have followed the Spanish and picked unabashed
hedonism instead??!
