I like baseball.  Its one of the only team sports where an individual is credited for winning or losing a game.  Its it suspenseful (most of the time).  You don't need to play close attention to the enitre game.  It fu8n to cheer for your team, and its the most fulfilling when your team wins the world series.  I'd rather my team win the world series then and other sport.

This site is intended for people to ask serious questions and get serious answers. Those of us who know some things would like to get the points we deserve for the time and effort we take to answer instead of seeing yahoos get points for being plain silly. This goes for all categories of the Yahoo Answers site, not just the Baseball category.

I dont really understand your question. You should have told us what it is for. Maybe about how hard you worked or someone hitting a game winner

Try posting this question under "Baseketball" rather than Baseball.....

You betcha, my friend--sitting in upper reserved, section 327, with a perfect view.  Beautiful day by the bay, not much wind, and every other hard-hit ball to center died before it got anywhere today--which is why we knew Barry's shot was heading out: it was still rising over right-center.  But as with everything in baseball, you need context: Byung-Yung Kim owned the Giants today.  It was 6-0 Rockies when Bonds came up, and there were already 2 out, with Steve Finley on first.  Kim had walked Bonds his first AB, but with a 6 run lead he looked like he was going after him.  Count went full, and we all thought, here comes another walk....The other remarkable thing was that during each pitch there was almost total silence in the yard--nobody was cheering, everybody went quiet, like they didn't want any distractions.  Never heard anything like it...And then of course all hell broke loose when he hit it.  Some guy in the right-center bleachers had a glove on it and misplayed it, and the ball dropped over the side of the section onto the concessions below.  And some other guy who was in line for a beer saw it rolling his way and picked it up.  (True!)\n\nI know there's going to be a lot of screaming about steroids, and cheating, and racism, and asterisks, and who was better, and why, and bla bla bla....You know what?  I don't think there's a sports record you couldn't taint if you looked close enough.  To me, it's about the drama of the moment, and this one had it.  Lucky to be there.  (But glad it's over....oh, and the Rockies won anyway....)\n\nP.S.: I'm with you on the steroids thing.  Strength is fine, but as anyone who's ever hit a baseball knows, a half inch either way on the bat, and you have either a very strong popup or a very strong ground ball.  The reason hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in sports is because the hitter has exactly half a second from the time the ball is released to decide where it's going, and whether to swing or not--and if you do swing, you're as likely to miss as to hit, and if you do hit, 7 out of 10 times you'll be out.  Steroids may give you bulk, but they don't give you eyesight or bat speed.  Not that I'm saying Bonds--or anyone else who ever played the game--is totally clean.  But I just think the effect of steroids on home runs is overrated.\n\nAs for unfair comparisons: how many home runs would Babe Ruth have hit if he'd had to play against pitchers like Bob Gibson, Juan Marichal, Dave Stewart, Pedro Martinez, Dontrelle Willis...?\n\nP.P.S:  Aaron's record is safe.  Watched Bonds' play in left decline enough to know: his knees won't carry him the 3 seasons he'd need now to reach 755.

You've nailed it Jen.  The truth!!  All of these people who claim to disagree with you are just not being honest with themselves.  Of course they wish their teams were as successful as the Yankees.  What fan wouldn't?  The bottom line is that money or not the players still have to get the job done on the field.  Georgie is always talking about the Yankees not winning a world series in this century.  The fact is the Tigers haven't won still 1984.  So what is your point Georgie?  The Tigers are nothing more than a one hit wonder.  Big deal, you won a pennant.  You are all missing the point.  It's all about the legend of the Yankees and how it overshadows all of baseball.  No matter what the other teams do, it's still all about the Yankees and how your teams compare.  Some of you just have to make your hateful comments to relieve your frustration.  I think that's pitiful.  Instead of being mad at the Yankees what don't you turn to your own teams ownership and ask them why they don't put a winner on the field.  And don't give me this money crap.  All franchises have the money to buy anyone they want.  It's a matter of stepping up to the plate and doing it.  Obviously they don't have the guts.

Why would you put this in the baseball section?  You're going to anger a lot of baseball fans with redundant questions like these.  If you like him, call him...and next time spend a little more time determining what category to place your question in.

Is this a sports question? Who cares?

Yeah if you want to look at stats alone but weird things happen in baseball.I remember last year the Royals swept the Yankees and the Royals had a horrible team.That's why so many people get frustrated with the Yankees.People think they should win every single game with a pay roll like that, and they probably should.I also think that a lot of good teams are too relaxed when a bad team comes into town and then they loose.Sorry...I keep going on and on but its just that I am a Royals fan and even though they are bad I have seen them beat some of the best teams.I guess that's just how baseball works.

u better watch ur tongue or i'll come over there and cut it out. SPORTS may not be worth dying for, but they are something to live 4. At least someof us are active. Stats r so u know who to pick 4 ur dodgeball team. so there I answered ur Question, but u better never introduce urself 2 me. because u may be dismembered by the whole of ESPN.

I think baseball is fine the way that it is.  Football needs replay because it is played at a much greater speed, so you could miss calls.  In baseball the action is slower and easier to follow.

Yes, at this point, it's too late to do anything about it. \n\nHowever, I feel that the person who failed to tag the runner should have told the ump that he/she didn't tag the runner upon hearing the "out" call. That would have been the honorable thing for him/her to do. I would rather lose a game than lose my integrity any day. There is no joy in winning a game if the win is not honest. To me anyway.

Yahoo is a really good site to play fantisy baseball because you can play in a public league or private. Also good ones are ESPN and SI.

White Sox of course but if you are going to put up a question like that you should also either say you are taking a poll or ask specifics about something between the two teams.
