Baseball - What's not to Love?

I love baseball. It is definatley my favorite sport. I don't get to watch it much because John thinks it is the most boring thing you could ever watch on television. I have to admit it isn't one of the most fast-paced sports but there is actually a lot going on if you pay attention. There is a lot of strategy in baseball. You just have to watch closely to see the infield move out and the outfield move in and the catcher move from side to side for different pitches...there is a lot more going on than just a batter and a pitcher and the rest of the team standing around or sitting in the dugout waiting for something to happen...I do have to say however, there is a lot of spitting and scratching going on, which I don't quite understand. You never see spitting or scratching happening in football or basketball. The camera doesn't zoom in on an NFL player spitting sunflower seeds across the field or an NBA player grabbing his crotch. These are the moments of the game I could live without. The other day, I was watching the game and commented that it was somewhat disgusting that the camera was always showing someone spitting. After watching several games of the playoffs, I have decided it would be tough for the camera to zoom in on any of the players in the dug out that weren't spitting. Michael thinks they do it out of sheer boredom. Since there is nothing else to do in the dugout, they chew... and spit. And then when they finally get up to the plate for their big moment at bat, with the whole world watching, they stop spitting and instead, they grab their crotch. Oh, ya gotta love baseball.. GO TEAM!!
