I just really don't understand why every year, when I see write ups and reviews of the latest batch of baseball titles, 9 times out of 10 the author feels the need to tell you how much he (or she) dislikes baseball. I am baffled by how unprofessional it is. I never see that in any reviews for other types of sports games (nothing against Golf, but it's a pretty slow moving game, yet even Tiger gets proper respect). Obviously the people that are interested in hearing about the game DO LIKE BASEBALL! The reviewer's job is to give us an overview of the game's details, frankly I don't give a crap about this person's personal feelings about the sport, it's really ridiculous. Regardless, I was real happy to see some info about the game. December is usually when I start getting excited about the next MLB game, this sure kicked it off with a bang. Can't wait to hear more soon (hopefully).

How could you live in America and not like baseball? I always say that if you don't like baseball, then you don't understand it. Best game ever invented. A thinking man's game, which is why most Americans probably don't like it.

When my students ask me what my favorite sport is, and I tell them baseball, they look at me like I am an alien from another planet. I guess it's a generational thing. It must have been great to grow up back in the day, when every kid in America wanted to be a baseball player when the grew up. There wasn't any other major sport worth playing.

People that don't like baseball just don't understand it. Just as you said. It's the same reason I hate soccer, I think. I would rather watch anything.

No, you hate soccer because you are not gay...
