“America’s Pasttime” has a lot of things going for it. It’s been around longer than any other sport in America (there are even drawings of people playing it during the Civil War). It arguably inspired the best sports video game of all time (RBI Baseball, shown below). And it brought us Jose Lima’s wife. Unfortunately for baseball, it’s unbelievably overrated.
Baseball - UNBELIEVABLY OVERRATED
“More entertaining than any real-life baseball game”
Baseball is overrated for several reasons, including these:
1) It is impossible to competently play fantasy baseball and have a job at the same time. You just can’t do it.
2) Baseball games are extremely boring. Seriously. Unless it’s the Yankees versus the Red Sox (in which case you can always root for a fight) or sometimes the World Series, it’s impossible to sit through without wanting to do something else.
3) Individual baseball games don’t matter. A team can start like 2-18 and still make the playoffs. It’s just dumb. What’s even worse is that for any game that might be interesting (like a yankees-red sox game, since there might be a fight), the tickets cost a ridiculous amount.
Overall, baseball sucks and is overrated.
