66. Baseball on TeeVee is more boring than Football on TeeVee
and the evolution of television corresponds nicely with the replacement of baseball by football as the so called national pastime.

When I think about it, I prefer a good Radio broadcast of a baseball game to watching it on the television.

Going to a baseball game is one of the most perfect ways of getting drunk on beer there is.

Football is just more amenable to a televised spectacle than is baseball. Baseball really requires that you take in the whole picture at once even as you might concentrate on the hitter or the pitcher, you really have to be able to let your concentration shift around much more than you would with football.
