I will be the first to admit that baseball bores used to bore me to tears. There can be a whole lot of nothing going on for a very long time. But, there are some positives to get you to tune in. And, keep in mind, your man will probably be so shocked that you agree to watch and can actually talk about this sport that he will be willing to change the channel every once and a while so you can tune into America’s Next Top Model.

Top 10 Reason’s to Watch Baseball: aka Why Hitting a Ball with a Stick can be So Much Fun to Watch

1. Homeruns. When it happens, it’s really exciting. And sometimes the ball hits people in the stands. That’s just funny.
2. Strikeouts. Guys get really excited when this happens.
3. Hot guys in tight pants. Do I need to elaborate on this? Hot Guys. In tight pants. Lots of them.
4. Fanwear now comes in Pink. Team apparel has gone chic. No longer do you have to wear the hideous oversized orange t-shirt (shudder!). Check out all these supercute tees, hats and fanwear in light pink, cut in cute little baby-tee styles! Not to mention a baseball hat is the perfect fix for a bad hair day! Check out Amazon.com for tons of cute pink apparel like:

How cute would you be in this pink jersey?

5. Derek Jeter. Or, if you prefer, Alex Rodriguez. And they stand really close to each other on the field! Bonus!

6. No Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders! That’s right, no official team cheerleaders! No competition! Better yet, if you dress as a cheerleader for your man’s team, well, let’s just say he will be very happy.

Wonder where I can get those boots?

7. Plenty of Drinking Time. The game lasts a long time. Plenty of time to drink. And if you are actually at the game live, they bring the beer to you. But you could score major points if you 1. bring yoru man beer during the game or 2. invent a drinking game to play while the game is on (i.e. Drink everytime there is strikeout or chug a beer if someone gets hit with a ball.) And you don’t have to drink beer. Get a variety pack of Smirnoff!
8. Derek Jeter. This deserves a second mention. It would have been #1 but the boy wouldn’t let me.

9. Longstanding rivalries. They make your catfight with your BFF over your BF look like a temper-tantrum. Think I’m kidding? Just mention the Red Sox to a Yankee fan or vice-versa. See what happens.

10. You get to watch guys play with their bat and balls. And that’s hot.
