Baseball? - Yes or No

Baseball in the US dates back to the 18th century when amateurs played a baseball-like game using their own rules and homemade equipment. Amateur men's ball clubs were formed in the 1830s-1850s, semi-professional in the 1860s; and the first professional leagues were formed in the 1870s after the Civil War.
I am not a big fan of baseball. I remember as a kid my parents taking me to double-headers in Cleveland to see the Cleveland Indians (now Guardians). We sat out in the sun for hours and hours; and I found the game to be quite boring. I had my ice cream bar and orange juice in its cone-shaped container. I removed the other end of the container and made a megaphone out of it. I would cheer when everyone else cheered and boo whenever everyone else booed!
Do you like baseball?

I love baseball. That and hockey are my sports. (Hockey players know how to fight, not like those sissies in the NBA or NFL.

No, I'm not a big fan of baseball either. I'm not a big fan of any sports really to tell you the truth.

@LindaOHio I generally dislike to watch sport, but baseball is one of those I dislike more. The one I absolutely hate is boxing.

@CarolDM I like their uniforms better than football players' uniforms.

Not a sports or baseball fan but I did see the NY Mets win the World Series and went to the ticker-tape parade when I lived in NYC

I used to be a bigger baseball fan than I am now. I spent many fun times seeing the Mets play in NY.

I have a few friends and some family that like baseball and have fun with it. To me though it's just so boring, I could never get into it. I tried again a few years ago but I still couldn't do it. I fell asleep.
