I won't throw a name at you, just a picture. I'm surprised someone hasn't made reference to it yet. Thrill!

Anyway, the thing I most like about baseball is how close the competition is. If you follow a team, I don't care how bad they are, you are going to see them win. If not, there is always tomorrow.

In football, you gotta wait a week. In basketball & hockey, god knows when they'll play again.

The best team ever in baseball (win wise) still lost 30% of their games. Every game, *every one* your team has a decent chance of winning. In other sports, it's likely that you'll a 'clear favorite' that has a very, very high chance of winning. Those games are just not fun for me to watch.
