Baseball used to be America’s premier sport, but it’s been declining in cultural relevance for decades. As a lifelong baseball fan, this saddens me. Not there’s a strike looming that threatens next season.
Baseball will literally have complete innings where nothing happens unless you really geek out on pitching. Last year they had a World Series game go on for almost seven hours and it was only 6-5 at the end
It’s a super interesting game because the defense controls the ball and there is no clock. This also means the games can just drag on and on with no end in sight
