baseball is more like a game of chess..watching the coaches change their strategies with most every pitch and or play....the reason the batter steps out of the box is to ensure they are comfortable and ready to go...it's also a psyche out...just like some pitchers will toss a ball up and in on someone or a baserunner will take out a shortstop...these little mind games...
it's a much more deliberate game....takes more time...it's for longer attention spans....I love the strategies and different little nuances of the game...watching a guy like Greg Maddux who can slice up the plate like a surgeon, yet he's not a big guy and by looking at him, you couldn't tell he was one of the best pitchers of all time...then you have a guy like Randy Johnson who can knock your head off with one pitch and intimidate you into committing to bad pitches...two different types of pitchers but very successful.....
I personally find basketball very boring and think it would be improved by giving players sticks to guard the hoop...
football is ok, but I just like the brutality of hockey better and don't get me started on soccer/football...that games needs landmines and weapons to turn me into even the slightest of fans.......
