Baseball is interesting because there's no game clock. The last 2 minutes of a football game can literally take twenty minutes. It's also equally annoying in basketball, with teams just fouling and doing other hijinks in the last couple minutes.
In baseball, you're required to throw pitches, you can't just stand there and stall like a lot of other sports. I think I enjoy F1 for a similar reason.
- golemiprague 5y agoSoccer is played intensively to the last second and there are no stops as in football or baseball, just some extra time added at the end of the game to compensate for time wasted. In general nothing compares to soccer, I am sure there are more books written about it or using it as a background story than any other sport, just because it is so popular around the world. It might be that baseball feels more romantic and nostalgic exactly because it is such an American pastime and not very popular around the world.
