Baseball seasons are long. There are an almost endless number of games. And the games are slow. But it just won't go away, and I think a lot of its appeal has to do with its slowness. You get a real appreciation for the build-up, for the process.
Baseball involves waiting for the special moment.
For much of the game nothing is going on. You eat your hot dogs, you go off to the bathroom, you come back, and the same guy is still at bat. Then out of that slowness comes this moment when everything's moving at once. There's an explosion of activity and then it slows down again. It's very organic, very sexual.
