I know there are plenty of football fans here, don't recall seeing much about baseball.

It's refreshing to see the HR record being chased by somebody who doesn't cheat the game. I don't consider the numbers of the Sosa and Bonds era to be relevant.
It also helps that I'm a Yankee fan too I guess.
Yep, my name really is Bob.

    @muncybob, I am a lifelong baseball fan, but I do go through periods when I repeat a term that I learned in the early 70's:

    "Watching a baseball game is like watching paint dry"

    I am now in a "like period" and I know all of the Braves players names, unlike at the beginning of the season a couple of years ago. The Braves moved from a ball park in downtown Atlanta to the Truist Park in Marietta. Not as dangerous a drive to go to a game now, but I don't attend games often.

    NL East has ONE game of separation, wow!
    It sure will be interesting to see how this ends, but whatcha think is gonna happen when my Metropolitan's come calling next week? :D
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    I still enjoy watching a game now 7 then, but honestly I don't recall the last time i watched a complete game. I typically check out the score late in the game, I guess I'm a relief watcher.

    Mets are looking good this year. Not sure who will make it to the WS in that league but the Astros are the team to beat in the AL. Sadly my Yanks will miss it again although Severino looks promising.

    San Diego Padres fan Dodgers have the Division wrapped up but the Padres might make the playoffs if they win a few more. I will be in San Diego next month and hope to go to Petco park on one of the last home games vs the Giants love the vibe at Petco.

    Judge is a class act and so is Maris Jr. I'll be watching the next few home games as the crowd will go wild when he hits 62.

    I still don't watch MLB or the NFL.
    I spent most of my time doing positive things like drinking and chasing women.

    Baseball is a great social sport, because you don’t have to give it your full attention and can chat with your friends/family while it moves along. Perfect for a casual drink and relaxing, imo.

    I went and watched the Vegas something or others play someone else while visiting my dad this summer. He talked the whole time. Not about baseball. Still good fun.
