13 Reasons You've Struck Out If You Think Football Games Are Better Than Baseball Games

Baseball is truly one of America's favorite past times, in my opinion, it is the BEST past time out there in the sporting world. Here are just a few reasons that baseball will forever remain the greatest sport around.

1. It's easy to understand

There’s one goal, hit the ball. Done.

2. They don't stop every 30 seconds

I don’t need to watch a bunch of guys throw themselves in a pile very 15 seconds.

3. The cost

MLB baseball games are cheaper than NFL games and they last twice as long.

4. The pants

I mean come on have you seen all these baseball butts?

5. The food

They do NOT serve smack hotdogs and ballpark ice cream in a football stadiums now do they?

6. The merch

In my opinion, baseball jerseys are classier and way more comfy than a football jersey.

7. FREE BALLS

EVERYBODY LOVES A POP FLY!

8.  Weapons

Who decided that Bats were a good device? No idea, but they are definitely a weapon and that is definitely cool.

9. The History 

America's favorite pastime really has so much more history than football and the characters that have risen are truly heroes.

10. The music 

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME... you’re welcome for getting that stuck in your head.

11. The community 

People don't holler at baseball players the way drunk dads yell at football. The atmosphere when a run is scored is truly something special.

12. The season

Baseball goes on forever and ever so there’s plenty of time to catch a game, and since it’s in the summer it’s nice outside and not freezing like it is at a football game.

13. It’s baseball 

Seriously, baseball is really just great. It's that simple.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
