Baseball is fun...right?

Let me start by saying I love baseball I always have. I loved the yankess and baseball as well long before I even know how football was played but alas even with that history I am a football guy first and a baseball guy second. I realize that baseball what is still the recognized as the national pastime can be slow and boring and a bit overwhelming with its rules and procedures. I am of the mind that baseball suffers from 2 fatal flaws which are coincidentally its greatest traits. Firstly the fact that baseball demands a working knowledge of the game it inspires passion that only soccer can match. The thing is as with soccer most people do not have the working knowledge of the game. Other then strike out and home run most people will not see the skill of the sac bunt and moving runs over and bullpen management. this stuff is not entertaining in the casual way footballs run throw hit dynamic is. You can not tell the diffrence between a cover 2 or a 46 you will enjoy a tackle and if you do not know a shotgun or a I a touchdown is a touchdown. The second reason is the fact that baseball is taught not picked up. This means that you cant be taught baseball on the drive to the ballpark it takes years and a patient teacher(dad or grandfathers normally)I suspect football is learned by most people during a superbowl party or in a social situation football is on(bar,party,etc..) I think the fact that baseball requires the skill and the effort that its impossible to do anything casually let alone follow it. I am a fan but I will admit that I watched 0 pitches of the world series this year and according to the ratings I wasnt alone.
