My vote is for perfect games, cuz those only come along once in a blue moon. But all the others are pretty great too.

For a player its the rewards and failures! You can go 3 for 3 one night and go 0 for 5 the next night. Baseball teaches humbleness! But nothing feels better than the crack of bat and rounding 1st with a clean a single!

Is the smell of fresh cut grass, the sound of a bat connecting with the ball and the cheers of the crowd. :clap:

I also like sunflower seeds and bubble gum! :D

I rarely eat sunflower seeds & never hot dogs at the games. Gum is given at little league games for fouls. Perfect game.....what's that? ;) I had to go with home runs, since those are few and far between for my kids.

with baseball it's the whole package. but when it gets down to it, there are 2 things that i love about it more than anything else.
1. no time limit or ties
2. having a bonding experience with my dad growing up. there were several times my dad and i went to an Astros game just the 2 of us and those memories will remain with me the rest of my life.

:clap: :clap: :clap: Yes all of the above (especially once the weather warms up).

I also like seeing the excitement on the kids faces when they know they have played a good game.;)

How can anybody not like being at a baseball game on a hot summer afternoon? I have trouble watching it on TV, but being there and just relaxing is a different story.

I voted for sunflower seeds only because you left out the right answer. The right answer is Bikini clad girls in the bleachers. :D
I can't get enough of the smells of baseball, fresh cut grass- hot dogs- and suntan oil!

I loved playing baseball as a kid and playing in High School. I also have great memories of my parents taking me and my brothers to watch the Astros, but the best thing I have ever experienced about baseball happened last Saturday. It was my sons very first T-Ball game. I was coaching first base and when he hit the ball and was safe at first he was so excited. I will never forget that feeling of watching my son. I think all dads and moms will agree. That's what baseball is all about.

My favorite part would have to be going to a game and not having to worry about keeping stats!:hairpunk: lol Just being there with friends and/or family is AWESOME! My mom thought I was crazy when looking at colleges---i had to go inspect the baseball field and meet the coach before I'd tell her if I liked it or not...:D
Like i say, I HATE BASEBALL!:p

One great thing about baseball is the ballparks.
Football, basketball, even track have the same dimensions to every field.
Baseball is the only sport where the field of play can differ from ballpark to ballpark.
Wide or short foul line areas, short porch to right or left, cavernous alleys in the gaps to left/right center, monster walls, etc.......

Commercials come at the end of the inning not after every play...

Plus the tradition, superstition, the work ethic, team work, the smell of the grass, a player stretching a double into a triple, and all the things that make baseball what it is

what do I like most about baseball.....hmmmm? I would have to look back at past baseball games to examine what I like the best..... but I am not here to talk about the past, I am here to be positive about the future:D

but to be serious, I voted for hot dogs, but i really love watching a player hit for the cycle, or a walk off homerun

I voted for hot dogs, but probably my favorite part of baseball is when there is a close play at the plate. That is so exciting.

I was at a Ranger game early last year when they scored the go ahead run versus the A's late in the game. Awesome experience!
