Now, don't get me wrong. I like baseball. I played it when I was growing up — my hero was Roberto Clemente. But you have to be a die-hard fan for baseball. What are there — 162 games in baseball? (My wife once asked me: When does the season start? When does it end?) I just can't keep interested over the long haul. I really don't get interested until it reaches the playoffs and the World Series.
