You can watch your favorite baseball team at least 5 times a week. That's the best part of baseball. Sometimes your team plays 4 times a week. Sometimes they play 7 days a week.

fred13 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 my dad once told me Baseball is simple only to the simple-mided. I heard that when I was about 4 or 5 years old, and I don't know if he made it up or heard it somewhere, but its as true as anything. No sport combines skill, luck, smarts, and athleticism like baseball does. Any dumbass can dunk, or shove a guy at the line. However, even the simplest things in baseball, laying down a bunt, or fielding a groundball takes skill and intellect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, even the simplest things in baseball, laying down a bunt, or fielding a groundball takes skill and intellect. I think laying down a bunt is the easiest thing to do. But, at the same time, it's the toughest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred13 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 this quotation from Fever Pitch is pretty cool: Ben: You know what's really great about baseball? Lindsey Meeks: Hmm? Ben: You can't fake it. You know, anything else in life you don't have to be great in - business, music, art - I mean you can get lucky. Lindsey Meeks: Really? Ben: Yeah, you can fool everyone for awhile, you know? It's like - not - not baseball. You can either hit a curveball or you can't. That's the way it works... Lindsey Meeks: Hmm. Ben: You know? Ben: You can have a lucky day, sure, but you can't have a lucky career. It's a little like math. It's orderly. Win or lose, it's fair. It all adds up. It's, like, not as confusing or as ambiguous as, uh... Lindsey Meeks: Life? Ben: Yeah. It's - it's safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abc006 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I really loved that movie.Seriously? To be fair, I have refused to watch it for obvious reasons, but I didn't figure that even if it replaced by the 1998 season from a yankee perspective I would have enjoyed it immensely.

SESbb30 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I love baseball because Buddha has a round belly. :biglaff: when i pitched we always threw the ball around the horn after my last warmup pitch, and the 3rd baseman always walked up to the mound and said, "use the buddha".
