I was confusing the World Series with the Superbowl... ::) That doesn't change the fact that more people watch basketball though.
Trauma-san:
You need to support that statement to prove it's a 'fact'. Show us some numbers, in my opinion it could go either way. I haven't watched any basketball games since the strike, and that was years ago, and I even had a pro team in my town, so I really don't know which is watched more anymore.

I read it in a newspaper. if I still had that newspaper, I'd type out the exact words; But I don't...And I knew the World Series wasn't one game. I was about to go back and edit my statement once I gave it thought. But Tom already quoted it, and I was too late...PeACe

EVERYBODY has to be talented, or the team won't do well. There's virtually no way to play baseball selfishly. You can't hog the ball... you can't try and hotshot and show off, because generally you're either trying to get the ball to another player, or you're the only one involved in the play in the first play (I.E., catching a pop fly, tagging someone out)... so there's no egos and selfishness. It's a simple game but has complex deep rules with lots of statistics for people who prefer the depth of those aspects of a sport. Finally, it has a rich history of charismatic players and is buried in the history of our country. Not as many people watch anymore, but it's still the greatest sport. Just because people don't realize it doesn't make something less great, it is what it is, you can't change the truth.

Why are teams with the best pitchers always in the playoffs if baseball is such a team sport.
Football is the ultimate team sport.

Dodgers had the BEST pitching last year in baseball....they did not make the playoffs. Red Sox didnt have the best pitchers, marlins had just a solid rotation.
