You don’t know how much I love that shit. The precision nature of hitting the ball, grip and spin of a pitcher, the ballet feet when turning two, the strategy and positioning/scouting reports - that’s what makes the game so amazing to me … toss in the cat and mouse between pitcher hitter, fielder/hitter, baserunner/pitcher/catcher … and now coding/signs/misdirection … I mean, all sports have some of those elements to some degree, but baseball maximizes it all. When they say “student of the game”, baseball is the astrophysics of sports. Love it, I always will, for all those elements which go far beyond skill and strength.
I understand why people don’t enjoy the game. But when they don’t, my very first thought is you don’t really understand the game … you might get the rules and generalities, but you don’t get the depth.
