I’d have ended the sentence at “trusted for anything”

Has it been looking at my notes?
(Seriously, don’t trust a thing AI says, it just makes stuff up that sounds correct)
I wonder if they’ll ever teach it to be accurate.

Genuine question for any Americans lurking in the ether, why is baseball popular

The Japanese are also huge into baseball, arguably more than Americans.

I don’t know. But I’m also the wrong person to ask as I don’t don’t see the appeal of sports in general.

I’m not American but I imagine it’s the same reason any sport is popular.
Different countries have different sports: Football, Rugby, Cricket, Baseball.
People grow up with it and their parents take them to matches and they enjoy it 
I’m not a fan of any sports

Good synopsis Shauny! I’d say spot on.
Most sports you either played or watched/listened to as a kid with someone special.
I love the Indy 500 because each year I would sit with my grandpa on the back porch and listen to it with him! Now I don’t miss one race, it’s like a holiday at our house! 
Most people that I tell this to say, “Oh how boring!”.

Sports are very often a social event, both watching and playing. While I don’t care for sports much myself, I’m always down to hang out with a group and friends, eat snacks, drink beer, and watch the latest game just to hang out and vibe.

I maintain that Cars is the best Pixar movie of all time, and one of the best Disney IPs.

I don’t care for any sports, but hot dogs always taste a bit better at baseball stadiums, in my opinion.

I think that baseball is popular because of its relevance to American culture. As “America’s Pastime” it attracts a good deal of attention, such as the President throwing the ceremonial first pitch. It has a long history in this country, which soccer [your football] doesn’t seem to have. Because the British don’t “get it” it allowed America to work to building an independent cultural identity. Personally, I also think that the minor leagues have been influential, as they allow people outside of major markets to watch professional baseball.
Speaking personally as an American, I’ve been to both major league and minor league games, and I think baseball is one of my favorite spectator sports. I enjoy the mythology of the past, as well as the data analytics of the future that make me feel like the game, although confusing, is multifaceted enough that I want to learn more. I have started to try to learn how to keep a box score when I go to a game, which helps me understand what is going on. Overall, although some might believe that baseball is tired or conversely, has sold out with recent rule changes, I hope it continues into the future.

I think baseball to the British is what cricket appears to most people to be, a sport where seemingly not a lot happens surrounded by confusing statistics

As for sports, I’m only particularly into NHL hockey, and I guess playing pool (cue sports count).

Today’s a busy day. We’ll do some shopping downtown. We have local elections coming next weekend, and the pre-voting is underway. One of our friends is running for office, so we will take part in her campaign activity. And after that, we’ll have dinner in one of our favourite tapas restaurants.
