    Oh I have no issue with others liking it. My son loves watching basketball. I can’t stand that either. Ach to their own.

    I do like playing baseball (or one of its derivatives), but watching it I just can’t

    I think I played it once when I was about nine, another crazy American adaptation, even worse than the NFL, and that’s saying something!

    put me off with them having a 'world series' between two north american countries... they cannot win any sport (bar when they hold the athletics) so invent their own games and their own special 'world cup'.

    Always reminds me of those American films when father and son don gloves and throw a ball at each other from 10 yards away. Fatha should be slide tackling the kid from behind into oblivion to stand him in good stead for the future. A stupid lasses game that I can't believe people actually watch.

    I think you're on your own mate.
    I've only been to the USA once and I went to a baseball game - San Diego Padres v New York Mets it was a weird experience but I enjoyed it - I still remember doing the 7th Inning Stretch and that was about 35 years ago <laugh>
