But when you get into the game, especially when it's your home team and you start rooting for them, it really does get quite exciting. It clearly does not have the "action" or pace of basketball or football, so in that sense, it IS a "slow" game, particularly when a batter can take umpteen pitches before hitting the ball or striking out. Hmm. Now you've got me thinking :)Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-1154866069664633602006-08-06T14:07:00.000+02:002006-08-06T14:07:00.000+02:00Is it that YOU don't think it is slow and boring a...Is it that YOU don't think it is slow and boring any more, or that it ISN'T slow and boring any more?Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-1154830161825889662006-08-06T04:09:00.000+02:002006-08-06T04:09:00.000+02:00Oh yes, Ruth--the Tigers' baseball games with Dad!...Oh yes, Ruth--the Tigers' baseball games with Dad!
