Welcome to the IHoP v.2

My best buddy turns 8 years old today and I promised him a fun day out at an Orioles game. Time to start planning.

Going to have to change your plans as fun and baseball cannot go together.

 

Name another sport aside from soccer that has encompassed the globe and spawned professional leagues and billions of fans like baseball has.

 

 

Auto racing.

Bike racing

Shooting.

Hockey.

Shall I go on?

 

Nope

Nope

Nope

Nope

Nope

 

Actually the real answer is none. Billions means significantly more than 1 and that percentage of the globe is not a fan of baseball. The world is getting dumber though so maybe someday.

 

 

In that part of the world they watch baseball's drunken uncle, cricket.

They loved him or missed the sarcasm? 

 

I realize the man is just a puppet, but shit how could anyone drink the kool-aid?

 

At that time the whole world was so sick of Dubya & Co. they figured surely anyone was better than another Republican.

Nascar has never come close.

I wonder where I got that in my head.... I only remembered that false little anecdote as I thought it was absurd....

 

 

Nascar is only dominant in the US.

 

 

Doesn't Nascar stand for North American Stock Car Racing? I've never seen it anywhere except the US.

Never said NASCAR. I was honestly thinking F1, CART, Indy car type racing. However, NASCAR is auto racing, and part of the sport.

 

Sorry, but auto racing is far bigger than baseball.

 

Hockey? No? I'll chuckle at that.

 

You could argue shooting, and I'll give leeway to that.

 

Bike racing? Sorry the Tour DeFrance is bigger than any baseball event.

 

Anyways, all the sports I mentioned, aside from shooting, perhaps, have met your criteria.

 

FWIW, I like hockey, and I like to shoot (although competitive shooting isn't my thing), but none of these sports aside from hockey means shit to me.

 

 

Add rallying to auto racing.

On the sport argument I will simply say this.

Every night I went to the market in Baghdad, or into town while in Kuwait two sports were on Tv. Soccer or cricket. This is with people of all decents, and all paying serious attention.

Anyways, all the sports I mentioned, aside from shooting, perhaps, have met your criteria and then some. All are bigger, globally, than baseball.

 

FWIW, I like hockey, and I like to shoot (although competitive shooting isn't my thing), but none of these sports aside from hockey means shit to me.

 

 

 

Auto racing as a collective I can see.

 

Hockey, seriously?  The most notable league, the NHL is a joke. 

g,

Shooting?  A "sport?"  Maybe in the technical sense, but no.

 

Bike racing?  The Tour is the only significant event of it's sport. 

 

 

Baseball has reached the world over.  Anyone can pick up a stick, hit the ball and run around the bases.  It's played, (professionally, semi-pro, amateur, and fun) anywhere and everywhere.  Ever seen a picture of a kid in South America or Africa playing hockey, shooting, riding a bike?    Baseball, like soccer is universally adored for it's fun and simplicity.

 

 

We don't have baseball but we have something older and similar to baseball: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oină
