Two hours is about as long as any American can wait for the close of a baseball game, or anything else for that matter.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't get it when people complain that baseball games are too long.
They say baseball is a slow game. It sure doesn't seem that way when you're in the dugout. You think you have it figured out, but things come up quick.
Baseball is a game that shouts, 'Slow Down' to America. Stop tweeting, texting, blogging, watching cable news, and obsessing about polls, lost planes, and focus-group-driven politicians.
I could be on the court for two hours, and it felt like 10 minutes. It made time go by.
I am a New Yorker, and 7:00 A.M. is a civilized hour to finish the day, not to start it.
For an athlete, there's no time off... until it's over.
I stayed attached to baseball through the kids and through minor league baseball, and I'm very satisfied with the schedule it allows me to have, which means I'm home until my kids go off to college. I value that time.
When baseball is no longer fun, it's no longer a game.
Day baseball is now dead for all practical purposes. Sooner or later, the game will be played in its entirety at night, and as I've said before, then baseball will be squarely in the amusement, the entertainment business along with wrestling, midget auto racing and the trotting tracks.
I have a 48-hour rule. No drinking two days before a start. But those other days? Yes, I'm gonna go out. If I was locked up in my house all week, I don't know what I'd be like on the baseball field.
