RE: Is Baseball Boring?

in #writing6 years ago

Between all the newsfeeds and FOMO, I think it's easy to forget that slowing down every now and then isn't a problem to be fixed. The pace of baseball is part of what separates the sport from other big sports.
Steroids would spice up the game for a spell. But, after all competitive teams are juicing to match each other, that new standard of play from steroid-baseball would become just as routinized as baseball is today. Every moment of a sport can't be exciting. There must be some contrast for something to be exciting. There needs to be slower/routine moments for the extraordinary to stand out
