MLB All-Time Fantasy Draft

Problem with soccer is that I could be watching the game with friends, leave for half an hour, come back and ask what happened while I was gone and likely get the answer, nothing really.

Nothing happens for so much of the game.

And 1-1 ties really suck.

Same in baseball. We went to a Dodger's game a couple years ago, got free tickets from work. It was my first MLB game in person. We were almost falling sleep so we went to get snacks. As we settled back into our seats they had a triple play. I saw it, my wife and daughter did not. And apparently 4/5 of the crowd didn't either. Barely a ripple through the crowd. Even me, having seen it and understanding that it's a rare play, was like "huh, how about that". Just boring to the end.

If your not emotionally invested baseball can be hard to watch. I tried to be a Soccer fan, and couldn’t.
 
Last World Cup was fun, that Japan-Belgium game is still on my mind.

Soccer is pretty entertaining but you need to know some stuff to appreciate it.
