I've always liked baseball, but we don't really play it much here in the UK. I know Americans still take it seriously (but I get the impression that football, basketball and NASCAR are more popular). Plus, we call it rounders in Britain.

Biggest problem with MLB and the NHL is that the seasons are too damn long.

They play like nearly 200 games?

Maybe 3 to 4 games a week from now on and forever.

NHL is 82, same as the NBA

MLB is 162 games which is nuts to me. They could easily cut that in half.

Basketball below baseball? I think the popularity of March Madnesd and college basketball way over college baseball would put it ahead.

College basketball alone is significantly more popular than any level of baseball.

Basketball is almost on the level of NFL popularity. It's several tiers above baseball.

If we are talking all-time, Greg Maddux and Randy Johnson make my list.

Also Kershaw is absolutely atrocious in playoffs, for that reason alone I take him out of consideration.

I live around or near the Triangle and the CB atmosphere here is nuts.

Will have a few scragglers representing Wake Forest and ECU, but they ain't worth a shit.

See, that only mentions NBA and MLB, which yes, MLB has higher ratings. Virtually nobody gives a shit about college baseball, but college basketball is hugely popular. Add it up, and I think basketball has higher ratings than baseball.

It wasnt that long ago that the Detroit Tigers had one of the best teams..... on paper.

Miguel Cabrera is a triple crown winner
Verlander, Price and Scherzer were some of the best pitchers
JD Martinez was a great batter and outfielder
Victor Martinez was a great switch hit designated hitter
Prince Fielder was another great batter
Rajai Davis was a base stealing machine

and they fucked it all up in the post season. Still hurts man

Brit here

I watched Baseball late at night back around 2008 - 2010

Don't know how good they were overall but Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz were quality at the time.
