I think baseball is the greatest game. Just my opinion. I played in college though so I'm biased. Don't think anything beats it. Strategic, talent and breaks are all on display every night.
Nothing better in sports than a walk-off hit/home run in the playoffs IMO. I think playoff baseball is the second best playoffs in all of sports. The best is Hockey IMO.
I do understand why people feel the way you do about baseball though. It's a tough game to watch if you like action every minute. I love everything about the game though.
