aren't the rules of kickball basically like baseball but you kick the ball instead of hitting it with a bat? if kickball is the lowest form of sport in your mind, can baseball be more than a notch above? do you post antagonistic statements in all the baseball threads about how it resembles lowly kickball?
i liked when rick reilly went to a baseball game with a stopwatch:
Time of this A's-Yankees game: 3 hours, 15 minutes.
Time the baseball was actually in play, including pitches, batted balls, foul balls, pickoff attempts, relays, throws to bases and anything else even Bob Costas might consider actual sporting activity (and I was being generous with the stopwatch): 12 minutes, 22 seconds.
