I only go a few times each year. I enjoy it very much.
Oh don't get me wrong. I'd love to go. One of these days I will.

baseball is the best game to watch in person, but it's not that good on television because you can't take in the whole field.
I agree. That is probably why football, NFL took over as the number one sport in America. Football was better suited for TV. I doubt there are that many of us old farts around who can remember baseball being king of the hill.
Go Cardinals!:yes::yes::yes::yes:

I grew up and became a baseball fan back in the mid 50's when one could tune in and get a bunch of MLB games on the radio. Even way down here in Georgia. The only national telecast was the Game of the Week with Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reese. To get a game on TV you basically had to live in the city where the game was taking place or in the visiting team city and not all teams back then televised their away games.
I remember holding my little transistor radio to my ear. The good ole days.
Yes it was indeed that.
WS games were in the daytime, during school. I had a small transistor radio with a small cord and earpiece. I had the radio in my pants pocket, ran the cord up under my shirt and rested the earpiece under the shirt on top of my shoulder. I would then lean my head down to my shoulder to get updates on the game. Looking back, I suspect at least some teachers knew what I was doing, but they chose to let it slide.eace
