This has turned into an amazing thread of advice. Thank you!
Sports people--I have a question. I was sort of born without the sports watching gene, but I can tell that it must be fun. I'd like to TRY to get into one. Baseball seems right. I played it as a kid, so I know the basics. I liked it the most and went to games. Do you have tips on GETTING INTO IT?
