As an aside--in our ADD society, wouldn't we benefit from kids learning to appreciate the aesthetic beauty of a game that doesn't rely on brute force, unreal athleticism, or constant motion in order to be entertaining?

Finding useful information in a HCP post is like finding drinkable beer in a sewage treatment plant pool.

Unfortunately it is.....if you have time to fall asleep at it, not miss anything during said nap and there aren't any whistles, it ain't a sport FAMS. America's pastime my ass.

Yet it takes more skill to play than basketball

Yeah, not a sport.

This was fun, and it was cool to be sitting so close to the floor. Thanks for hooking this up sly!

College wrestling probably gets more attention than college baseball. College hockey most definitely does. And in some parts of the country, college lacrosse is a way bigger deal than college baseball.

Just face it, nobody cares about college baseball, except fans of a school trying to use college baseball as an argument for athletic department comparability.

Depends on what part of the country you are in. If you are from Arizona, California, Florida or anywhere in the deep south college baseball is big. Heck, I'd even say its pretty popular (maybe not with this board) in the NW. College wrestling is huge in Big Ten country, particularly Iowa, Nebraska, Pennsylvania and Ohio. College hockey, in the Northeast and Minnesota, N. Dakota and S. Dakota, Michigan maybe. Lacrosse? Maybe NC???

I think baseball is way more popular in general than the other sports. I've never checked, but I'm pretty sure the College WS always gets better ratings that than the wrestling championships or the frozen four.

On the flip side, my 11-year-old son--who has never played little league, mind you--was more interested in watching the Indians and Rangers on Monday night than the CBB national title game. Although I've been a Braves fan since childhood and have been known to pop a game on the TV occasionally, I've never pushed baseball in our house (hell, we don't even have mitts!), yet somehow he's been drawn to it.

As an aside--in our ADD society, wouldn't we benefit from kids learning to appreciate the aesthetic beauty of a game that doesn't rely on brute force, unreal athleticism, or constant motion in order to be entertaining?

Get your kid a glove. Baseball is a great sport. What people who have never played and don't understand the intricacies, is that its like a chess match. I mean, once you reach a competitive level.

Future blazer great Isaiah Hartenstein will be there, so worth going. I wish I lived in Portland.

Looked like a garbage bag full of sea foam.
