As Pitchers and Catchers are now reporting for Spring Training I was just wondering if there are any baseball fans out there? I know of at least one.

Is anyone interested in baseball? Do you follow a particular team? I suspect there may be a few Seattle Mariners fans.

If you are interested, have you ever seen a game? Watched on TV? BT Sport have live games throughout the season and I'm sure there are other places were people will be able to find baseball content.

No! None of it was true, none of those things we thought we could see existed at all.

I'm not interested in Baseball at all but I do have a Seattle Mariners T-shirt, my stepson bought me one for Christmas because it's got Mariners on it.

He lives just outside Seattle.

He's been to watch the Seattle Sounders soccer team and surprisingly they get crowds averaging around 40,000.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Of the big American sports, baseball is the one I could just about tolerate but wouldn't go out of my way to watch it. Not a patch on cricket.

It's just rounders with helmets.

It is just rounders with helmets, and slightly bigger bats, and gloves, but I enjoy it.

Nah, it's just a simplified Pesäpallo.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I love the film 'Moneyball' and the Netflix documentary 'The Battered illegitimates of Baseball' is one of my favourite sports docs ever. I just find watching the actual game really boring, it's not for me.

Wasn’t a baseball fan until I went to see it. Fascinating and intricate, granted it lacked the ferocity of say Ice Hockey and the being a football fan you miss the crowd involvement I guess but it’s a great experience.

It wouldn’t be top of my list of American sports to revisit but you can cheap tickets and it’s accessible. Lower down the leagues they do things like dollar beer nights and stuff for local games and the like...I’m sure we’d all partake in that.

Saw the Angels play the red sox at Angels stadium, was a short Uber ride from The Grand Californian when I went to Disney Land.

Saw basketball and hockey at Madison Square Gardens...

My first game was a Red Sox one too. Yankees v Red Sox at Yankee Stadium. Booked the tickets well in advance of our first trip to the States. I've been a Yankees fan ever since. Been back to NYC another three times since and have always managed to take in a game. I've stayed within two blocks of Madison Square Garden but never been inside, only been to Penn Station underneath. Not a basketball fan, never have been. Wouldn't mind going to a hockey game if possible. My Disney experience was limited to day trip to Disney World in Florida.
