Ok everybody:
I couldnt find a single thread about baseball so here it comes.
People how do you like it, did you played yet??
Well for me I played baseball a lot a time before and I really like it (unlike football)
I've never played. BUT, I've played the Finnish version of this sport. Anyone know what the dirrerence is? Anyway, it's great fun.
Yes, it's really great practice when you want to be able to throw handgrenades accurately to long distances.
I used to play the traditional game of baseball in England, known as 'Rounders' when I used to go to primary school.
I have played some baseball, was boring, it sucked. Baseball sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whenever someone asks me who my favorite sports team is, I say "Vladimir Guerrero."
Is softball the same? We played it excessively in school. I remember rounders in primary school though, it was fun.
Personally I find baseball a little dull, though I imagine it could be quite dramatic and eventful if you got the right conditions.
Unfortunatly, baseball is the worst game on Wii Sports! I hope its not as boring in real life..
We get high and play rounders which is a lot like baseball. That's a lot of fun.
Although Baseball is my nation's favorite past-time, I find it boring.
Softball is basically the same as Baseball, but the ball is bigger and the pitch is underhand, rather than over. Softball is typically played by girls, but I know a few girls that play and their "wind mill" pitches could crack skulls.
Oddly enough, the girls in my school are the only ones who play rounders all the time. Which I always thought was a fairly unisex sport.
ill just stick with my cricket. And when you say football do you mean that american sport played with their hands and pads, or do you mean the game that the rest of the world calls football?
Not a fan of baseball. I find the game extremely boring and long. Ice Hockey is my sport of choice. (viewing, not playing...i can't skate.)
I never particularly liked football either. That's the real one, or soccer to Americans. I just find the "beautiful game" to be quite dull.
You know, when George Best (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Best) died, we renamed Belfast City airport after him. It's a sad day when you realise the best thing your city has produced in the past 60 years is a footballer who beat his wife and wasted a liver transplant.
On a side note, I didn't particularly enjoy American football until I watched Eyeshield 21. Then I saw the charm. Well okay, maybe I just like Eyeshield 21.
This thread title makes it seem people are using rocks to play baseball with... ouch, that would hurt.
Well I remember when I was something like 10 and got hit in the face with a baseball. And it did hurt like a rock.
Yeah, we used to play with rocks and stones. But when you're a kid, it really doesn't hurt that much. But try with a superball, you know them bouncy things, they fly hundreds and hundreds of metres if you hit well and keep bouncing ever farther.

I mean the shit that the rest o the world call "football".
What do you know. It's "shit" for you, but for someone else it may not be shit!
I personally don't give a shit, but it might be a good idea to try and think a bit before posting, like for example that your opinion is not the only around. ;)
Yeah, Wtcq, calling football "shit" isn't very polite towards those millions of people, some very young and poor, who happen to take delight in said sport.
I think you should apologise for insulting such a vast demographic group in such a rash and thoughtless manner.
Ok,ok you rigth man.....I apologize :'(
ok then back to the topic what do YOU think about baseball Andail
I hate that shit!
Well I'm happy you said that coz the threds aim is to collect opinion about baseball no
matter how much you like/dont like it if thats wat ya think then ok.
Stop talking shit Andail! That shit is shit!
That rock thing reminds me the ages of Stoneball in Estonian TV, was great! ~50-70 kg stones were used as balls, scull cracks, broken arms and legs were usual things. (Its from a comedy show, if you didn't get it)
Nah, actually baseball seems like a fairly sensible sport. I enjoy throwing balls, so I think I could learn to appreciate it if I gave it a try.
It's funny to play, but how many people do you need to make a match? 18? it' s difficult to get that amount of baseball lovers in Europe... :)
I never liked sports really
Probs coz i was always the last to get picked :'(
No fair
I like baseball, it's fun to play, but I prefer cricket, I'm sure if I was born in USA I would probably play baseball, but as an Australian, cricket is one of the biggest national sports, and I've played it for the last 20 years.
I just got home from my clubs presentation for the last season and I came home with 3 medals and 1 trophy, played the last 8 seasons for my current club, medals for 100 senior matches, taking 10 wickets for a match, and for taking over 40 wickets in a season, I got the teams bowling trophy for taking 46 wickets with an average of 9.89 (my 6th bowling trophy for the club). you'd really have to understand cricket to know what I'm talking about, that's why I posted it in a baseball thread

Woah, an average of 9.89! How many maidens did you get in the season?
Back on topic; baseball seems to be big in the states, although there doesn't seem to be much skill involved from what i've seen...

39 maidens from 176 overs, strike rate of a wicket every 23 balls, econ rate of 2.58 runs per over
It's the best average I've got for a season, it's usually around 15,16 which is still good, my average for the last 5yrs is 14.97
I'm guessing your a seamer, do you swing it as well?
With figures like that, batsmen must tremble walking to the crease! :=
