Baseball cards. I could care less about MLB due to the financial inequities in the game. You can get rid of the game and I still have my t205s, t206s, and Goudeys.

I am 56 and still love to throw a baseball with my son (who is now very nearly a man) or go to a ball game, minor league or major league. Anyone who doesn't see Mike Trout or Clayton Kershaw play is missing something in my opinion. Times change, the pay scale changes, concepts, and strategies evolve but at the end of the day it is the same as in 1910 when a pitcher threw the ball and hitter tried to hit it.

Probably next year I'll either start coaching again or ump. No other game like it IMO.

Kershaw getting shelled has become an annual fall ritual. I can't watch Trout since he doesn't play in the postseason when the games are on TV. Maybe some day, but I wouldn't miss the game if it ended. I will always have some of my cards.

Cobb was an failure in the rare World Series competitions that he participated in during his career, but I still think he was a player worth knowing about.

Default Baseball for me

I've been collecting cards since I was a kid.

Played it most of my younger days.

Nothing beats watching a 1-0 game. I voted baseball.

I was a pitcher most of my life in baseball but I still like an offensive game more than a pitchers duel. I liked both girls...can I have both?

He hit .368 in the 1908 World Series.

In three World Series, he batted .262, no homers, only five extra base hits and didn't win any. Kershaw's 7-7 post season record with a 4.35 ERA on his career is probably about the same in terms of value.

Hands down.......MaryAnn and Baseball. However, both MaryAnn and Ginger were HOT in the episode as the group "The Honey Bees".

We will just have to agree to disagree. Clayton Kershaw is the worst postseason pitcher of all time.

Pretty much my thinking also. I would add that stats matter more than rules to baseball. I refer to stats concerning stolen bases for a starter.

Baseball. Since the original question was regarding baseball, not necessarily MLB.
