Followed by American football?
Is it just to let the fat guys feel what its like to be athletes?

it IS pretty boring, balls strikes and walks all day, and thats an interesting point you brought up about the 'size' of an average baseball player, one of my gym teachers used to call it a 'fatmans sport',
once 20/twenty cricket fever catches on in US/Can, baseball would be second in line.
i once watched a 20/twenty game in england last season, and to be honest, atmosphere was unreal.. compared to one day cricket matches.. ps the game was over in 3 hrs! :D

NO!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!! Maybe to you it is, but baseball is America's pastime. It's slowly becoming a corrupt sport, though, with all the steroids, but playing it is a blast. Football isn't boring either. If you live in CLEVELAND it's boring, (ha ha) but San Diego and Chicago are great places to be right now. Man, if you don't love watching a Hail Mary Pass, a Flea Flicker, Reggie Bush return a punt for a touchdown, Chicago coming back to beat Arizona, Michigan State coming up BIG with 38 unanswered points to beat Northwestern, then what do you like. How was everything I just mentoined BORING!!! It's exciting!!! Americans live to watch their team every season make the long, harsh journey to the Super Bowl. That's all I have to say. Thank you. Oh, and by the way, the stinkin' Cardinals beat the Tigers in the first game of the World Series: 7-2. What I'd do to see the Cardinals lose the next four games. Adios.

No, the offensive and defensive lines in Football let the fat guys be pro athletes (300+lbs).
Baseball is far from boring it's just that most people are consumed with wanting instant results and have an I want it now attitude (fast food, cel phones, internet, remote controls for everything). A Baseball game takes time to develop and can build with intensity as the game goes on.
True, some baseball games are boring but some games of any sport can be boring.
The most boring game ever has got to be soccer. Any game where 3-0 is considered a blow out is B-O-R-I-N-G!

Baseball is far from the most boring game ever. It takes amazing skill to play this game. You have to be very intelligent in order to play and be a very good athlete. The intelligence comes in when you have to think about all kinds of situations. The athletic part comes in when you have to actually hit the ball. I know many people who don't even come close when they are trying to hit the ball. It takes great hand-eye coordination in order to hit a ball. So no, baseball is not the most boring game ever.

Hardly. Most people who say that baseball is boring simply don't understand the nuances of the sport.
Most boring game ever would probably be lawn darts, bowling or shuffleboard.
You may make fun of the "fat guys" playing baseball or football, but they would make you look silly if you got on the field with them...

I can't sit through a whole baseball game but the traditions and rivalries make for a great season. I can't watch the games but I can enjoy all the story behind it. I'm glad I watch it sometimes though. When Endy Chavez made that double play in Game 7 of the NLCS, I came.

Golf is first, then football. Basketball is best seen in person, as is hockey.
If a baseball game is in a groove it moves along quickly not like footbal which makes me fall asleep
