Baseball is an ultra marathon. I’m sure the TV networks showing games don’t think it’s beautiful that fans are free to ignore the game for weeks at a time. The game almost demands all fans to be casual fans, at least all the ones with jobs.
That's what I like about baseball. Laid back atmosphere. Easy to go to a ballpark anytime you feel like it.
Then when I'm retired, I can be a rabid fan, need to find something to occupy my time, I guess.
