I will try to put into words why I love the game so much. In no other sport is the history of the game as prevelant as it is in baseball. Numbers, situations, games, calls. No other sport compares. The voice of the game has been carried through time by the great announcers, this is something that hoops, football and others have never had. Baseball grew up on the radio, there is a huge list of names that carried the game to many people, that they simply associate with their team, their city, in much the same way that we Wisconsinites associate Uecker with the Brewers. Why do I love the game? The stories my friends can tell. The games that I have seen. The subtleties and the intensity that every single pitch brings. Every pitch is a new game. Baseball may be 'slow' but no other sport has the action as compacted as Baseball does. There's more in my head, but my brain has shut off.
