Someone help me to find the "thrill" of baseball please

I already posted this yesterday but somehow the contents of my thread disappeared.

I'm a football fan, and I'm a big fan of sports text simulations.
Recently I've started a thread in a forum to which I lead a football team (WWPF New Orleans Saints).
Text simulations. Baseball tops Football?

OOTP Baseball has long been known to me, only now, recently (almost by accident) I've been interested for more detail.
The simulation is a dream, just a dream!

I fall in love to what I see and read.
I love the mechanics, the screens, I love the comprehensiveness - but I don’t get used to baseball.

I know baseball, I know most of the rules and I know some statistics.
What I do not understand to baseball, where the baseball fans gets there"thrill" from.

What is "thrill" to me.:
Football:
I call a play.
I see how my running back run through the open line - my eyes getting bigger.
The running back breaks a few tackles and sees daylight - I hold my breath.
My running back is in, or to the way to the secondary - I jump up from my desk and screams run, run!

This is really so to me.
That’s what I mean by "thrill", were I find excitiment.

I do not find this with baseball - so far.
Where and how you find the "thrill" in baseball?

Well, all three bases are loaded.
The suspense is whether the batter hits the ball and whether the hit results in points.
But I feel this more and more as a matter of luck:
If he hits the ball or not. As he hits the ball wherever he strikes the ball
Isn’t it a gamble?

I'm sitting in the stadium.
On the field down there develops a highly dramatic situation but I do not recognize this!

I know this forum is about text simulations, about OOTP produkts.
But if I can not find any real baseball fan here to help me out - then where?

Can you help me? Help me to understand baseball better?
Not the rules - but from were and how you feed your fascination with it.

I am thinking to purchase OOTP 14, because it is so is a great and exceptional text sim.
But I have to to do baseball (and any other sport) with emotions.

Oh, what does this "Stuff" rating?
