ok so while talking to JohnCU, i realized....well he had 7 beers in a baseball game, which isnt even a beer an inning. but I have a beer a period at a hockey game (minimum) so thats 3ish.

and it hit me why people love baseball
9 innings = 9 beers

i guess if i was wasted during a baseball game id fucking be all out about loving that horribly boring sport, too

cheers, everyone! :beer:

In order to hit more than 7 beers per baseball game you would have to average more than 1 per inning since they stop serving during the 7th inning stretch.

more like 1.5 beers per inning (especially as a cubs fan) = 13.5 beers

This thread is timely as just last night I was thinking about how to change baseball to make it worth watching yet still be baseball. I think that if the ball was designed to explode on impact, the one-hundredth impact, that would add a bit of interest as fans and players, especially players, tried to carefully count the number of catches and hits. It would keep the stats nerds happy too. The second modest change I would introduce is that outfielders would be allowed to tag runners out by throwing javelins at them. Each outfielder would have a single javelin to throw and there would need to be new markings on the field indicating that the outfielders couldn't get too close to the runners when they threw the javelin or it wouldn't count as an out.

No, the explosion should be random. That would keep the stats nerds even happier trying to calculate the average number of hits to detonation.
 
Baseball is ok to play but watching it is just wrong. I would rather shit a pineapple out sideways than watch baseball.

Baseball is boring to watch but very fun to play. I played baseball and soccer when I was a kid. I miss the good ol' days!

Baseball is free military training for the gov't. The only sport I know of where you have to hurry up and wait. Perfectly tuning the brains of americas youth into killing machines!

the only more boring form of popular entertainment is nascar.

Nascar is NOT boring - you just have to play a drinking game while watching Nascar. Every time they turn left, you drink!
