    I think that people love baseball more and more everyday because baseball is the best sport to watch at a venue and it’s the cheapest to go to.

What about all the hard work and dedication that baseball players put in they put in work everyday even in the off-season and that’s dedication. That’s why I believe baseball is America’s…

People similar to this woman, believe that baseball is a boring sport yet they do not realize that it is actually one of America’s most exciting sports!…

Baseball is the only sport I know that is an individual sport and team sport at the same time!…
