Anything but baseball. Every sport has its lulls. But I can't think of another major sport in the US that you can spend your entire time on the field standing in engaged and still win. Even in Soccer your goalie can be a part of an offensive to reset the ball.

Baseball, only 3 people are required every play. The pitcher, the batter, and the catcher. Everyone else could be snoozing. It's also superstitious which is silly. Lastly it doesn't use technology to properly officiate, so you get snap calls that mean your team wins or loses on literally a whim. No recourse no review just lol, the sun was in my eye so you're out.

Not only are you an obnoxious rear end in a top hat, you're wrong. Baseball has had replay since 2008.

This video cuts too early. And, I say this as the youngest sibling - that kid totally deserves it. You know when you throw a tantrum and do something dumb as gently caress that you are dead, and you see the change in your bro/sis's eyes when they decide to kick your rear end. This was that moment.

May all of the older siblings in this thread be pleased with this offering.

You just don't know how to watch baseball.

In the stadium you're not supposed to sit in somber silence and give your undivided attention to the pitcher scratching his balls before the next pitch. You drink beer, cheer with the crowd, chat with your friends, or send a couple texts in between plays.

Outside the stadium you don't watch baseball. You half-listen to it as background noise while doing something else.

To be fair, the kid could have just been looking at something for a minute. Not likely, but we should give the kid the benefit of the doubt. It wouldn't take that long for a bat to fly into the stands.

You're supposed to yell at the players and try to goad them into a fist fight with you while avoiding being caught and kicked out of the stadium. You win baseball if you manage to not get your rear end kicked but actually do manage to start a fight with a player.

Okay so I've been taking notes for when I bring my kids to a baseball game. Tell me if I've missed anything?

-Drink beer, make my kids try it
-Order Hotdog Sandwiches for us all
-Put ketchup on sandwiches
-Being a cupcake, say "hey kids does this cupcake smell funny" then mash the cupcake in their face when they give it a whiff.
-Order an extra large pop for us all
-If a baseball/bat flies at us, let it pelt whoever is unfortunate to get in the way no matter who it is.

I can't wait to have an all-American day out with my kids!


e: Failarmy for 1st week of March don't recall seeing it posted, I'm sure someone did. But here it is anyways because there's some good ones in there.

That reminds me of some personal shadenfreude: I lived in Michigan when I was a kid and you could get tigers tickets for almost nothing(this was the old stadium years after they won a world series so no one gave a gently caress about them) I went to at least 25-30 games and they lost. Every. Single. One.

I feel your pain. I have been to 12 home Packer games starting in 2010 and they have lost every... single... one.
