Play Ball!

For those of you expecting my Frank Sinatra blog, you will have to wait until after spring break!



Baseball spring training is in full swing. In less than a week the major league baseball season begins! What better way to spend spring break than to take in the Tides opening game and catch a couple of major league games on TV. Baseball has been the subject of numerous books, movies and songs. It has also produced some very interesting trivia. For instance, did you know that the two writers of the song "Take Me Out to The Ball Game" had never seen a baseball game prior to writing that song, and the term "southpaw" originates from the earliest days of baseball stadiums.





In case you have not guessed it, I am a big baseball fan. Actually, it is my favorite sport. To me, there is nothing more enjoyable than being able to watch a great game of baseball. What is your favorite sport? Do you have a favorite baseball team? As you probably know, mine is the Atlanta Braves.



So tell us in your post about your favorite team or sport. If you do not have a favorite team or sport, then tell us what you would rather do than enjoy watching a sport. Here is a video that should make you smile! And another!

Baseball is a very enjoyable game to watch but its not my favorite sport. My favorite sport is football. Even though baseball isnt my favorite sport i still have a team i always go for. That is the Boston Red Sox. My grandfater was a big Boston fan so i follow behind him.

I do have a favorite sport it is wrestling. I just love WWE I dont know if you technically count that as a sport but I do and its awesome. Ive watched that show since I was eight and still love it. Its just so unique and wonderful with all the moves and holds they do. If I had to pick a good baseball team I would pick the New York Yankees I sometimes watch them play and Love when they beat the Red Sox.

Im not really into the whole running with or for a ball thing. Its just not me, im a baton twirler. I find it fun to go in a quite room with a high ceiling with my baton. I am going to band camp at JMU this summer to be trained to handle a rifle, which is a challage for me since im so used to a small little stick!

I don't really care for sports. I like football, but i don't like sitting down and watching it. I'd rather go chill with my friends or something. I don't know, something other than watching a game.

I think about the only baseball i watch is when i go to Aaron's games :). I perfer football. Go Redskins! Overall i think id rather watch "So You Think You Can Dance' orrr "Shark Week." Haha :)

i think that baseball is a very nice sport to play and its fun to just get to swing the base ball bat and just to run and try to get to bass.

Volleyball is my favorite sport. I've played for six, almost seven years. I've played on two junior olympic teams, and have been invited to play in tournement's all over the globe. Although i don't play softball, i do enjoy watching it. My mom played softball in college for Texas A&M. I don't really have a favorite baseball team, but i loved the disney video we watched in class!

My favorite sport is baseball because I’ve grown up around it. I have been a Braves fan since forever. I have seen a million Braves games.

My favorite sport to watch would have to be football. When football season comes around I never miss a game. My team is the redskins yes, I know they aren't very good anymore but they use to be. I can get into football more then I can in any other sport. It's just more exciting to me. Watching people get tackled and flipping all over a huge field.

Unknown said...

I'm really not a huge fan of any sport. It's just not exciting. The food is good! I think if I played it would be a different story because I wouldn't be so bored. I don't know the rules to any of them and I really don't care to learn.

I for one am a fan of swimming. Though I do not watch the sport on television, nothing relaxes me more or entertains me more than a day spent swimming in a deep pool on a warm summer day. That to me, is the best sport we have.

I don't like Baseball I never have. I would rather be with my friends. Instead of playing or watching baseball if I had to be doing a sport it would be Football.

Baseball is a great sport to play. Its very fun to watch in a stadium,but not on TV. I don't have a favorite sport,but I always pull for one team, and thats the Atlanta Braves.

Unknown said...

I like baseball, it's not my favorite sport but i think it is interesting. Every year my family and I go to a Norfolk Tides game. We all get together just to spend time with one another and I can say we do enjoy it. Hey, its something to do, right? :)

Mary said...

Baseball is an interesting sport, although I don't have a favorite team. The two videos I thought were very entertaining. They were also somewhat educational about the support.

Liv said...

I don't like watching baseball on TV, but I love to go to a game in person. My favorite sport to watch is football. I would rather be spending time with my family instead of watching sports though.

lisa said...

Well baseball is not my best sport. If i have to choose a sport I would say football. The STEELERS is favorite team. But i rather go shopping or go to see my boyfriend Brandon than to go see a sport.

cole said...

Baseball is my favorite sport I love watching and playing it. I have been playing it since I was five. my favorite team is the orioles. Even though they haven't done so well in the past couple of years there still my boys.

Allen said...

I think it is a lot more fun to play baseball than to watch it. I like basketball and football more than baseball. If I had to pick a team though it would have to be the Red Sox. It is definitely a sport that will exercise your muscles though.

Unknown said...

playing baseball is kind of fun but watching it is the most boring thing in the world. I just dont see how it's entertaining.

Darion said...

My favortie sport is wrestling. I've watched it since I was 7. It is really enjoyable.

Baseball isn't my favorite sport, even though i want to play softball. I much rather watch football, or basketball. But if i had a choice to do something else i probably would. Just my opinion.

Unknown said...

It's a very good game. You can go all over the place to see it. You can get fan stuff for you and your kids.
