Went to a local A grade baseball game - my first live baseball viewing ever - I watch a lot of MLB on TV - well as much as they show here in Oz - so much fun to actually be there - get the feel and hear the crack of the hit and thwack of ball in mitt - loved it!
Having been to several over my lifetime (although not a huge fan of it myself!) it is definitely more fun to be there than to watch it on TV. I found myself watching the fans more than the game-haha! But I was always with an avid fan, so it was fun to get into the team spirit with them.
@annied I'm not much a spectator, much prefer playing to watching. AFL is the exception, love watching the main teams play. Why couldn't we have been allowed to play when I was fit and able enough to do so?
@golftragic I love watching the baseball - I still play netball once a week - the body does protest on occasion - like last night's game where the opposition hit the body rather than go for the ball
@annied You must be a helluva lot fitter than I am Annie. Between advancing years and three metal joints plus a few other impediments I can't even run any more.
@golftragic ha ha - let's say I am - but no - I play shooter - I take a step back when they pass me the ball and I shoot - very quickly I might add - before the defense has time to defend - when I do move it is not a pretty or athletic sight hahahahahahaha
