Simple question - it is presumed the majority of us involve ourselves in baseball. This thread will focus on the MLB level of the game.


Majority-speaking, how do you experience baseball?

Even though there is a poll, it is appreciative if FCB members explain - and quantify - their particular experience with their majority venue.



I work quite a bit, and have courses during the morning. This leaves me with minimal time to actually watch a game on the television - much less attend a game.

On average, I will listen to about 120 Rockies games on KOA 850, and [partially] in sync with ESPN's FB tracker. I only manage to attend 10-15 games a year.

It does sadden me a bit, since it used to be different about two years ago: television-watching was my main source, with about 2.5x for attended games. I do miss the nuances of both the players, and the game - their stances, their facial expressions and characteristics. I definitely feel distanced from the game, but my busy life will hopefully change relatively soon.

Since Milwaukee has the best radio man ever, I tend to listen to Uecker whenever I can. Actually, during the summer, during dinner time, you can find me in my back yard, grilling, with the game on the radio. 'cause i'm a 'merican!

TV for most, Radio when the Jays are on (rarely)

If I'm not watching TV, I'll check scores online, or may fire up mlb gameday


MLB.tv after the price drops for the 2nd half of the season (It's down to $80 for premium now)

When the Jays are in town, I attend as many as possible. I have a seasons pass which cost me $114, so each game is like $1.30. Why not right?
The home games that can't attend, I usually use MLB At Bat 2011 to listen to them. I'm usually at work, so it's my only option.
Away games I either watch on the tube if I'm at home, or if I'm out fishing, we throw it on the radio.

Mostly Television. Going to games are always fun, but I'm on a pretty bad streak lately, and I usually go along with someone who wants no business being there, so I tend to be pressured, so I don't enjoy it as much as I should.

TV. I watch about 85% of their games during the season.

I go to about 3 games per year....

Watch live or dvr 90% of Rangers games on tv.
Attend 3-5 Rangers games in person.
Attend 2-4 Frisco Roughriders (Rangers AA) games in person.
Hope to see Neil Ramirez pitch this year either at Round Rock or Oklahoma City.
MILBTV.com interesting Ranger Affiliate games.

TV makes it easier to 'analyze' the game. In person is usually for the atmosphere.
