Why bother?
I would probably like MLB baseball better if they had a much shorter season. The 162-game grind is excruciating. Even when I paid attention to baseball, I typically did not get into it until after the All-Star break.
My sentiments exactly.
Why Bother
Because its baseball and our country needs some shared experience of our history to get us away from all the crap that is going on. I can go to the sports section for box scores of the Dodgers Giants Rangers and Yankees rather than the front page.
Plus I get to waste 3 hours at night at a bar and 3 hours the next day watching another replay. Retirement sucks without baseball.
