Baseball is just a good excuse to hang out with friends while enjoying a beer and a hot dog.
I'm right there with ya. Love to go to a game but haven't watched much on TV. Last time I watched a game was when the Cubbies won the WS. Before that was probably the 90's.
Same here. Going to baseball games is fun. Watching them on TV is not.
Unless it is the Royals in the playoffs and World Series. Family texting during the games made it even more fun.
Life is good!

Liking baseball is a topic where reasonable folks can disagree and remain friends.

Unpopular hot take 1: quality soccer matches are the most watchable sports on TV.

Unpopular hot take 2: college basketball is almost unwatchable with the time outs, foul shots, and looooong replays that stretch the last two minutes of a game to over ten. Just play the fucking game already.

But when Dick Vitale is calling the game it is much more enjoyable, right?

When they started split-screening 94-feet, I almost broke my TV. I did change the channel out of spite.

I used to enjoy baseball on TV. I’m an Orioles fan. X(

I LOVE baseball on the radio. My great-grandfather (who lost his sight in his later years) and I listened to games every night for years.

My bucket list includes watching a game at every mlb park. I've been to 8-9, and Camden may be my favorite.

I bet you've seen one at either Fenway or Wrigley. Next 2 on the list if not, hopefully safely in 2021 :-s

Those two are top on my list. I have a cousin in Boston now, so hopefully I can make that trip next summer.

Agree that Fenway and Wrigley should definitely be 1 and 2. After you've been to those, also be sure to check out Pittsburgh - really nice stadium right on the river. And since the Pirates usually stink, prices are very reasonable.

Setting aside our favorite team and venue (and not limited to baseball, although it seems more prevalent among baseball fans), what is the driver behind “I want to visit all the <insert sport here> stadiums?”

Asking in earnest...I generally have more interest in the teams I am watching / the competition itself and not the location.
