Answer 1

So, you're not from around here, are you? What brought on all the questions about baseball? I'm going to assume you're talking about the major leagues, not the minors or lower leagues.

1 & 2)Baseball fans do not get into the game like say, English soccer fans. The game moves at too leisurely a pace, and lasts too long to maintain a high level of involvement. When your team is leading or trying to take the lead in the late stages of the game, you're more apt to become involved, shouting, clapping, etc. But there's no chanting like at soccer games.

3) Points in baseball are called runs, and a typical game might have 8-10 runs per game. The team with the most runs win. That's not to say a 1-0 game can't be exciting, because then everything that happens on the field can affect the outcome of the game.

4) Of all the games played in the world, with the exception of chess, baseball employs the most strategy of them all. One of the nice things about the leisurely pace of the game is that it gives the fans time to make their own strategies and compare them to what the players and managers do on the field. It is a thinking man's game.

5) The rules are very basic and easy for most people, even outsiders like yourself to comprehend quickly. And for 95% of the plays and games, all you'll need is the basic rules. But underneath the basic rules are rules that are very esoteric and arcane which can affect the outcome of a game, and only very astute fans know those underlying rules. Sometimes, the umpires, the arbiters of the game, interpret the rules incorrectly, which makes the game more interesting and enjoyable.

I hope this isn't too long-winded and sheds some light on a great game.

Answer 2

1) When fans are at baseball games it depends how thier team is doing which puts thier involvement into the game. If their team is winning they cheer and do whatever the team likes. At games people wear all types of clothes and somepeople do paint themselves.
2) Fans do get into the game sometimes they might be quiet because something is not going there way but most of the time it is loud and they do get into the game.
3) The average points in a baseball game is between 5-10. Sometimes the games go into 15-20 points because they just get lucky but most of the time it is in the single digits. The scoring potential is stealing bases, hitting homeruns, and walks. It is simple.
4) Thier is stragety in the game. The key of the game is get the defence off guard so you can steal bases or bunt the ball and getting to bases.
5) The rules make sense they are easy to follow. It is one of the most simple games to play. Not hard to follow. Once in awhile I dont agree with the umpires but most of the time they call good calls.

Answer 3

1)They dont usually paint themselves. They do cheer if something really good happens like a grand slam or just a home run.

2)umm.If you are trying to see if the fans get into the game like at football games and basketball games then no but sometimes the fans do kinda get into it a little.

3)1-15 sometimes depending on whose playing

4)There is some strategy. Not much like football plays and basketball plays and stuff like that.

5)The rules make sense to me.
