I love live baseball (football the exact opposite). On tv, not so much. Yes, it is a slow game but those seconds of a great catch or a triple play make up for it. As Sally explained, there is a reason for the spitting. Not the greatest thing to see but it’s part of the game. So is the pitcher stall. There is a beauty to baseball that the fast-action games can never meet.
As to college ball over the pros — why? Collegiate athletes are semi-pros at the very least. Few get an education and their scholarships are an insult to those with scholastic scholarships. The schools make big money off their student athletes. At least the pros are honest about the money they get.
