1. Tickets are cheap af since there's 162 regular season games. Although, you might pay out of your nose for tickets in London since it'll be a novelty event with the MLB's biggest rivalry.
2. "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the seventh inning stretch never gets old.
3. If the game hits a dull period, you can go walk around the stadium and usually find something else to do.
4. The food.
5. Witnessing strategies you may miss on TV like infield shifts. Baseball seems like a boring game, but there's so much strategy involved. Basically, if you enjoy board games like chess, then you'll probably enjoy baseball.

If y'all do go, you'll have a blast! I remember Callum talking about enjoying his first Toronto Blue Jays game.

I really need to go see a game in Japan one day. Apparently, they're more crazed than we are lol



Baseball is probably one of if not the most boring sport to attend, as far as actually getting any excitement from the game itself.

However, it's more about being there in the stadium smelling the food, hearing the fans, and just being in the environment that I love. The game is slow, and just not as exciting as other sports.

Yankees-Red Sox in the playoffs, should be interesting.

My money is on a Yankees-Indians final, with hope for the Indians ending the drought and giving Chief Wahoo the great send off he deserves since they bowed to the PC thugs.

I'm not alone! yesssss.

BTW, Giancarlo Stanton?

I was worried. Now that they have to Houston, I've moved into almost hopelessness... just not feeling that they can do it... ( Bosox, that is..)

Yeah buddy. Houston look tough, so the sox have their work cut out for them.

Stanton didn't want to play for the Cardinals, so I'm even more happy he didn't make it any further, and didn't do much in that series. I get it though, most players will always choose the Yankees over any team, they are like the Real Madrid of baseball, but he could have been a legend here. We aren't far off from making a run again. Maybe need another bat and an arm.


I was at Game 4 in 2004 when the Redsox swept us in the series. It was awful from my point of view of course, but overall the sox fans there were so polite and respectful, so I ended up feeling happy for them breaking their drought. We won it two years later anyway.

Right! I was surprised too, but keep in mind they were on the verge of winning their first World Series in over 100 years, so of course they were going to be in a good mood and be friendly. Ha!

Game 3 might not be over before game 4 is set to start. Sheesh.

Longest ever WS game so far at more than 7 hours and 17 innings and counting.

If I were in Europe or Africa, I could've caught the first inning, went to bed with almost a full night's rest, and woke up to the game still going on.
