25 Things You Didn't Know About Baseball (Must Read if You're a Serious Baseball Fan)

Cheaper tickets and give always

Cheaper tickets, sure. More affordable. But unlike the NFL, baseball fans actually come out to the games. And those fans only have to go to 8. This'll be the 8th year in a row attendance has gone up in MLB. People should just stop using the "baseball is dying" rhetoric and say what they really want to which is, "I don't like baseball."

Baseball teams are signing huge tv contracts (Angels, Rangers, etc), player salaries are still going up, the highest sports application is by MLB ... so how exactly is it dying?

26. You can use the baseball as a weapon and not get charged for it. You will get a warning for it the first time.

27. You can curse out the umpires and be seen as a motivator. Whereas in Basketball or Football you will be seen as a person with anger issues or a thug

28. You can have brawls and be seen as a person who has your teammates back. Whereas in Football or Basketball, you will be seen as an animal or thug

Dudes have "brawls" all of the time in football.
