Baseball is a sport you can't really watch casually. You have to know what's going on, right down to pitch types and career numbers. The more you understand the sport, the better it gets. If you just follow it casually, it will bore you.
Well, I suppose this explains why I can't stand baseball. Although from my perspective, something that requires me working at it to enjoy doesn't really strike me as enjoyable.
It's like when my friends tried to get me to watch The Office back in the day. It just wasn't really my style of comedy, but they sat me through episode after episode, promising that the next one would be funnier. After six of them, they finally gave up.
