High School/Pony (as long as the coaches are good/well mannered), college, minors, majors; I really like watching a good game of baseball.

Maybe keeping score for my son's teams or maybe hearing Vin Scully, Harry Carey, and other radio greats - or a combo of all the above are the reason.

I played water polo and swam in college so playing the game isn't why it appeals to me.

Anybody else here love the game (or another which they do/did not play)?

Yup. Don't get to see much of it, but love it.

Baseball is the only team sport that I watch. (I am too uncoordinated to play any.) Most of the sports move too fast for me to keep up with the action. Baseball is more my style. (And there usually is no real violence during a game, either.)

Gotta love those Red Sox

I did and do. I need to find time to watch more of the local college games like I used to. While I love the game, I've all but abandoned MLB for various reasons. Haven't watched or listened to a game in years. The last two times "my team" was in the World Series, I didn't even bother to follow the outcome.

No better way to spend an evening than at a ball park. Well, I can think of many better ways to spend an evening, but I love a night at the park. Played ball and coached it.

Many years ago my brother and I traveled to the east coast; we did nothing but watch live pro ball, drink beer and assess ball park food. It was the trip of a lifetime. Caught the Sox, Yankees, Mets, Orioles and a couple other clubs over two weeks of beer drinking fan barnstorming.

I do, but my team just plain sucks. Seattle Mariners.

I do

And I'm a dodgers fan

And I'm a fucking nervous wreck right now

Count me in. I loved playing, and watching. My team , the Brewers, did a lot better than expected this year, looking forward to next season.

Yup, wife and I are both big fans. I am a Nats fan, she loves her Giants.

Not any more. Baseball died for me when the Dodgers left Brooklyn.

I'm a fan. Loved to play and love to follow the pennant race. I seldom watch on tv even though I subscribe to MLB.com and can get all the games. What I much prefer is the audio feed. I think baseball is better suited for radio, at least for my taste. I listened to the Houston audio feed last night and the play by play was good. No commercials on the MLB.com audio feed either, or video for that matter.

Yes, but not so much the Majors any more. Really like college bb. I follow the U of Arizona through the season, watch a lot of the "Road to Omaha" Regionals and Super Regionals, and most of the College World Series.

Gotta love a game that is best played in warm, sunny weather and there isn't a clock counting down. It ain't over till the last man is out.

Nope not me. Ever since they went on strike years ago for more money to play a game I have no need for them.

It is my favorite game. I watch my Braves religiously (which is hard right now) and follow the Georgia Tech program closely. I played when I was young and in HS but I am reduced to only playing in a work industry softball league now, but it is still a ton of fun.

There is so much nuance to the game and I love the pace. I also love football but part of that is the atmosphere and pageantry of the game.

People talking about the strike are missing the point. Baseball is a game. Baseball never went on strike.

I love the game and could watch it at any level. When I travel for work or go on vacation, I try to catch a local game and most of the time find a good minor league, college, or summer league team playing. For me it is about the overall experience, being outside, the grass, the smell of a leather glove, and the intricate aspects of the game. I like to watch how all 9 fielders move when a ball is put into play, it is a pretty amazing game. And yes, it is a game of failure with only about 3-4 minutes of overall action in a game, but to me it is a perfect game that can be enjoyed at any age.

I have also been blessed in my life to have played when younger, coached my son up to high school, and now I get to enjoy watching him in high school and being recruited to play college baseball.

In person. Can't stand to watch it on TV.

Only sport I can stand on TV is The Bengals as it is generally cold but still prefer being at the game. Though I have dumped the NFL. Don't watch the Bengals nor do I wear any of the gear.

It's okay.

Lotta standing around waiting. When the action occurs though - it can be quite dramatic.

Baseball family here. Grew up watching the Astros in the Dome. I have two boys, age 13 and 11, that play travel ball. We drove to San Diego this spring for the World Baseball Classic with a stop in Arizona for spring training games. We will likely finish the baseball year at Minuite Made Park Sunday watching game 5 of the WS. Yep, we like us some baseball over here
