I don't disagree that there is a lot of strategy in baseball.

I would however contend the athletes in baseball are easily the most unathletic of any major sport and the sport itself is rather 'unsportlike'? Most other sports you can just bust it out till your sick in one play, grab the game. Baseball, aside from slugging a few over the fence or the pitcher toasting the batters, most players can't really try to seize the game. There's no end to end rushing all basketball or hockey (or soccer) there's no sudden interceptions like in football, there's no awesome rallys like in tennis.

But that's just me. I don't mind soccer at all, it would be nice to have some more Canadian talent to cheer for.

And after a while all the strategy and stopages just get boring.
