Jerome: Thanks for bringing me to these baseball games all summer, Grampa. Man: It's my pleasure, Jerome. That's why I bought the season tickets. Jerome: Maybe I can take you to a pro soccer match sometime. Man: Soccer? Soccer's boring. There's not enough scoring. Man: Not enough action. Jerome: There's plenty of action in soccer. They run for 90 minutes, Grampa! Man: There's running in baseball! Plenty of running! You've never seen anybody run 90 feet down that first-base line like I did in my day, beatin' out the bunts for base hits! Jerome: So, in baseball they run for 90 feet, and in soccer they run for 90 minutes. Man: Dang, another home run. What's that make the score? 8-to-6? There's too much scoring in baseball these days.

In baseball you get to wear a cap.

Right now, you can’t go to a baseball game. So, I can tell Jerome and his grandad don’t take their baseball trips for granted.

Baseball has become intentionally more boring. If you look back in time, you see that the average time for a MLB game was 2 hours, often less, until after WW2. It’s slowly crept up until it’s over 3 hours now — for the same 27 outs. https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/MLB/misc.shtml

Baseball is like rounders with swearing and fights?
