Short Post - Baseball

Why only a short post on baseball?  Mostly because I think it is one of the more boring sports.  You can go 9 innings (or more) without anything happening at all besides a pitcher throwing a ball past batter after batter.  Sure, I'll go to a game once every few (10) years if I've had a few, and have a few more while I'm there, but that is about it.  It is NOT America's sport.

But yesterday during the last game of the season between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Texas Rangers something happened that not only made me wish I had seen it on TV but really made me wish I had been there live.  A good old-fashioned brawl!  I won't go into the details, you can read and watch them in the link at the bottom, but it seems to have stemmed from another event last year.  This brawl literally cleared the benches, 8 people were ejected from the game!  I've always said if there was more stuff like this in baseball I'd watch more.  I also think they need to have randomly placed, hidden, spring-loaded jumping boards and smoke bombs.  It would definitely take away from the pure boredom of the sport.

Love to hear what you think about the brawl or baseball in general in the comments.
