I hate to admit that I watch it almost every year, but, after about 5 minutes I wonder WTF this is like watching

I agree that it's boring to watch on TV...but if you ever get a chance to see it live, it's more exciting than baseball itself. Imagine the energy in the ballpark when a home team players hit a home run during a game...and then multiply it by a hundred. The best seats are actually those on the 3rd base side down by the outfield; some of those mammoth shots are simply jawdropping.

S1, Ep23 Ernie Banks vs. Gil Hodges Jun 11, 1960

My favorite episode lol

I was at the game in Oakland years ago and went to HR Derby.  Sat in the left field bleachers and got a ball hit by McGwire or Canseco, can't remember which, took it home and let my kids play ball with it.

CyberChamp is right, the crowd goes nuts for home team players.

Did you watch the softball game after?  I think the one model thought she was in at first instead of out.
