Take Me Out To The Ball Game

So I'm probably in the minority here.
But out of all the sports to watch....
Baseball is my favorite.

It's not like I know anything about the game beyond the basics.
lol. Nor is it that I'm a fervent fan that knows stats and such on players.
Nor do I have a favorite team.
In fact...I have hardly a clue about baseball team names.

But that doesn't stop me from liking watching it.

It's a variety of reasons....
I like watching the little rituals the players have before they step up to bat or before the pitcher throws the ball.
I like watching the players run, trying to get to base either by stealing it or by dashing to it. Some of the moves they end up doing are rather acrobatic.
I enjoy the slight strategy to the game. Will the pitcher throw a fast ball? a curve ball? a low ball? Will the batter hit the ball hard, bunt it, let it slide?

Strategy. I enjoy the atmosphere.
I mean, I've only been to one local ball game in the past couple of years, but I liked the different atmosphere. It wasn't crazy (who knows it may be more crazy in other parts of the States...) And I liked it...
I just...liked watching it.
Wondering if the ball will get caught, if the batter will strike out, if there will be a homerun.

Ah.
Honestly.
I need to get myself to more ball games.
Because I always find myself hooked with watching it when ball games come up in shows or movies or even if I catch brief glimpses in the news....

Yep.
New goal.
Go to more baseball games.
....Now to find out when the baseball season is......:S ;)

Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
