What do you do when your darling girlfriend (or boyfriend) doesn't understand why you NEED to watch the baseball game? How do you convince them that this seemingly boring sport is truly the best sport of all? Try these arguments on them:
1.
When hockey players win the Stanley Cup and when football players win the Super Bowl, they get
commemorative baseball hats.
2.
Even those who don’t enjoy baseball can’t deny
they enjoy getting to "first base" on a first date.
4.
Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
5.
Watching baseball makes one better equipped to
communicate because baseball metaphors permeate the English language –
Examples:
·
Swinging for the fences
·
Striking out
·
Stepping up to the plate
·
Bringing the heat
·
Swinging at a fastball in the dirt
·
Hitting a homerun
·
Landing in foul territory
·
Getting caught in a pickle
· Out of left field
·
Bringing in a closer
6.
The goal in baseball is to get home safe, and
what woman doesn't want that for her loved ones?
7.
No other sport has shaped the legal system like
the Three Strikes Laws have shaped the criminal justice.
8.
In many other sports, the constant moving around
makes it hard for a new fan to keep track of the players, but in baseball the
new fan can tell who the player is and what they do based on where they stand
9.
Attractive players are not hidden beneath
excessive padding or helmets.
10. Baseball
is where the Kiss Cam got started.
11. Anyone
can refer to their success as a touchdown, goal or score, but baseball tops
that with the term for the ultimate success: The Grand Slam.
12. Baseball
is the only sport that promotes physical activity from its fans: The 7th inning
stretch.
13. Baseball
fans actually enjoy the game, not just the commercials.
14. Baseball
champions are not determined in one game, so the winning team's victory cannot
be waived by saying the other team had a bad night.
15. When
a baseball team is the best in the country, they become World Champions.
