I hear plenty of reasons on why people do not like watching baseball. It’s too slow. The baseballs are juiced. The season is too long. Pitchers shouldn’t be hitting. (That last one is courtesy of me and all of my American League fans.)

And while I cannot grasp not watching regular season baseball every night for half the year, I understand those are legitimate arguments. Sometimes the games are too slow and take too long; plus a 162-game season is a lot for an average fan to keep up with.
