My whole life i was told that baseball had to be seen live to be fully appreciated...the atmosphere, the smells and sounds, etc. So because of this, I had never bashed it too much even though internally i felt it was a very bland sport played by overweight men who couldnt cut it in a real game. Last week, I finally went to a Yankees-Twins matchup at Yankee Stadium for my first ever MLB game. And I have to say, I was bored out of my fricking mind the entire game....and apparently it was a good one too.

I have seen way more fun and action in the under 20 world cup then i will ever see at any baseball game. the sad fact is that a lot of north americans WANT to remain ignorant about the sport, and not even give it a chance. Too bad, its an amazing display of skill and ability.
