I know baseball doesn’t want to admit it and I certainly understand why, but man is it boring. Now don’t get me wrong, I love the sport, but in today’s world it just seems to drag on forever. With technology keeping everyone in touch with everyone and everything else all the time, we feel like there shouldn’t be anything known as “free time”. Hell, whenever a commercial comes on a video online I roll my eyes and pop open a new tab on Chrome and come back to the video once the ad is finished. Thirty seconds is to much for my attention span to handle without being occupied. And with baseball, you’ve got nothing but free time.

It wouldn’t be nearly as big of a problem if there weren’t so many games in the regular season. I’m a St. Louis Cardinals fan and have been ever since I was in diapers. But if I watch more then 10 games from start to finish this year, I’ll be surprised. Usually, I’m checking on my phone and if it’s a close game in the 7th inning or so I’ll flip over and watch the last little bit. Of course there are a lot of fans out there that are much more devoted to their favorite baseball team, but there are a lot more fans like me. They wouldn’t call them die-hards if everyone could do it.
