Put me in coach

[cyrano]

I am confused. I'm sitting here, surrounded by people I have heard call soccer 'boring' and 'too slow' (the same sort of people apparently have similar arguments for not liking hockey).
And they are spending hours enraptured by a baseball game. Which is only slightly less exciting and fast moving than american football, where they spend eight seconds running about in all directions and then take a thirty second break.
I have not yet seen them in the thrall of a blazing adrenaline filled golf tournament, at least.

The other thing about baseball is it appeals to mathemeticians, or more correctly, statisticians. From what I've observed keeping score at a baseball game takes up most of the time the players are spitting, scratching and generally doing nothing.
