Baseball is a great game. It's one of my favorite pastimes. It's a great way to spend a lazy summer afternoon. I love going to watch the nine inning game played on a beautifully mowed lawn, listening to the Umpire yell "STRIKE," singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the seventh inning stretch, and I especially love the sound of the bat going "crack!!" when it hits the ball. Baseball is definitely my favorite sport.
