I was a big baseball fan for many years. I first became a Reds fan in the early 70's just as the Big Red Machine was falling into place. I listened to a lot of games on radio growing up and even as late as the mid 80's when I was working as a security guard. I looved the game and played it every year when I was young even though I was terrible at it.
But I can not watch a baseball game anymore. I still enjoy seeing the end of a close game, but I just can't sit an pay attention to watching a full game. I could do it if the Reds were in the playoffs, but that is about it.

I'm with Fred. It really is hard to watch a whole game, which is why I believe baseball and radio are so connected. It's in the background until something important is happening. Hell Marty will damn near skip at bats. You can go from 0-1 to full count and never know it.
