I played baseball when I was a kid. Left field. It was boring as gently caress because none of those pussy rear end kids couldn't hit it out far enough for me to actually have something to do. I spent most of my time making sure the 3rd and 2nd basemen didn't gently caress up.

lol of course a sickly stickman nerd team like yours would be so bad you wouldn't get to play outfield

Twins have a great new stadium. You should go to a game. They've got this huge neon sign of two fat guys shaking hands that lights up whenever the twins hit a home run.

^ serious baseball watchers who are adults and not just watching because its something to do with friends while drinking or attend on a nice day once in a while for the general experience of "going to a ball game"...im quite biased though and dont really give a gently caress about professional sports and havent in decades

Joe Mauer has a pretty sweet scam going where he gets paid millions of dollars to get injured and watch netflix in his basement instead of hitting home runs.

:coolfish:

one of my friends got box seats at a minor league game a few years back and brought a few of us along (they were very reasonably priced)

and they brought us unlimited beer and sodas and burgers and cracker jacks. it just kept coming and I couldn't believe it wasn't extra money. the beer was gr8 and the burger patties were some seriously top dollar stuff and it was generally a great time and if I still lived nearby there I'd be going several times a year

so yeah idk if all minor league venues are like that but that's my minor league story and if you're ever going to be in lexington kentucky then get box seats to a legends game. because you're gonna want something to take your mind off the fact you're in kentucky.

Baseball has very nice lawns and dapper shirts and pants, however it is boring so it's kind of a toss up. Baseball should be replaced with gifs of baseball.
