Most of the sports I enjoy watching on TV involve movement. Some sort of running. Horse racing is exactly that. Great athletes conditioned to run incredible distances at incredible speeds. My little hang up. I dont like watching marathons either except to see the look on the guys faces and understanding what they are going thru.
Im a little less into the technical skill sports. Darts, bowling, baseball, golf.

I will agree though that hitting a baseball that is coming fast and changing direction, and a little white ball with dimples, are the two most difficult things I have attempted that require skills.
I like to watch fast people run and fast animals run.

THEY HIT A ROUND BALL WITH A ROUND BAT(and the ball is rarely coming without movement of some sort.)Why do ya think all these guys like to play softball? Bigger ball,and it isn't moving around nearly as much.

Scuds I could never get around on a fastball. I would duck out of the batters box on curve balls. The real problem with me was the ball comes very fast and it is very, very hard. It hurts like hell to get hit. I have a great reguard for hitters. Just like 300 bowlers... how is that done?

And I had/have what I consider very good hand eye coordination. Tennis was a breeze for me. And I learned to juggle in about two minutes. So I do have great respect for hitters. Although I do remember I once had an old guy (other than my DAD thank God) give me some pointers and batting practice and had a very good hitting game after working with him. So maybe I never learned properly. Dont matter. Damn difficult.

I think it is quite a talent to be able to hit some of these darting pitches that come to the plate at different speeds each time.It is almost impossible to be ready to hit either a fastball or a darting breaking ball.That is why you see these batters don't even move the bat on an obvious strike 3 fastball.They had to sit on the breaking ball,and they didn't get it.They guessed wrong.This is why Bradley looked like a hero on Sunday (with a walk off 3 run home run,)but was a statue on strike 3 last night(to end the game.)The secret to baseball is that it is not all about physical talent.It is a lot about strategy,and decision making.If you don't enjoy those 2 ,then it probably would be pretty boring.It isn't like watching a 100 yard dash.There are no decisions to be made there.That is flat out physical ability.

Baseball is clearly a thinking mans sport. I really used to like it until the strikes of the 90's. Then my daughter got into a sport I loved to play, basketball, and baseball was done for me. IMO it really was the great American sport because of the strategy involved. Now, Players changing teams for playoff runs constantly, no allegiance to a team(w/ good reason), outrageous sums of money, I just dont like it.

Back to Landis. I think he may be toast. He almost certainly had synthetic testosterone in his system. The test they performed C-14 ... is a big strike. But if his B sample is clear he may get off.

I think if you had a major league team in town you would get into it more.Kind of tough when you basically live in a place that's nearly as hot as an Auschwitz Crematorium.Baseball is really best outdoors.You have indoor places you could have a team play at.What are they doing with that hangar they call the Alamo Dome?You must have a minor league team.Used to be a Dodger farm club there.I think Bob Welch came up from that club(with bottle.)Where do they play? Can't play day games outside can they?

The San Antonio Missions double A. Seattle Mariners crop. Currently in first place in the Texas League. Yes hot as hell at the games. But really cheap, good dogs, good beer.

Alamo Dome: Large Conventions (Baptists arrive in droves), concerts, boxing, football (HS playoffs, college Bowl games, preseason Cowboys, Saints last year, and on...) College Basketball Final four and other earlier rounds. But overall I think the city breaks about even without a pro football team that would never be supported.
