Baseball is really a very complex game, but it does not offer the adrenalin junkie his fix as does other sports.

There are moments, though. Sweet, tense, achingly action-packed moments.

The best feature about baseball is the fact that the players never are fighting the clock. Except in Japan, one cannot run out of time in the game of baseball. That is why we say that it is the only game where time stands still.

There are times when I wish it wouldn't. We have a minor league team in town here, the Harrisburg Senators. They're a farm team for the Expos (though God knows for how long). Anyway, their games tend to go a bit faster and at times are more dramatic than major league play.
The other nice thing is that $8 gets me box seats (with backs and built in cup holders) ten feet from the third base line -- and they bring the beer to me! Five dollars gets me peanut gallery seats in the bleachers, but we're still pretty close to the action.
