Yeah, that also makes sense, and it's another point that I didnt touch upon.

It's like, when we're growing up, we always picture ourselves in these scenarios. Like, if we're playing baseball with our friends, we're like "It's Game 7 of the World Series, bottom of the ninth, bases loaded two out, can I do it???"

Or we imagine ourselves taking a game-winning basketball at the last second and stuff like that.

I guess I kinda sorta touched upon it when I was talking about how one of the things we like about baseball is that there are all those breaks that build up the action and suspense. Like, you have the time to sit back and consider the situation, like the inning, the batter, the score, the pitcher, runners on base, etc.

It's difficult to explain, but if you have a rooting interest in a big baseball game, the 10 seconds or so between every pitch feels like an eternity. You're anxious, you're nervous, you're holding your breath...it's so different from a game like hockey or soccer, it's like comparing apples and oranges, really
