What is it about the game of baseball that appeals to you guys? How did you gain the love for the game?

I heard there was a coach to complain about so I took an interest in it.

I grew up playing it. It's a thinking man's game. It doesn't appeal to the ignorant masses who can't appreciate nuance. All good things in my book.

Football is a game about how to compete in times of war.
Baseball is a game about how to compete in times of peace.
Football involves coming together with your comrades in times of intense pressure and destroying the other team.
Baseball involves traditions passed down from father to son, endless details upon details, and managing yourself for the long haul without burning out on the ups and downs of natural cycles that occur.

Ftr, I still play baseball in competitive tournaments with a travel team. And it's by far my 3rd fav sport behind LSU basketball & football. Just too damn boring 90% of the time.

Playing it growing up it was always my favorite sport and after moving down to this area in the early 90s I became a huge tiger baseball fan... I actually wasn't worth a shite on the diamond and ended up playing football at tulane in the early 2000s. Even after playing football for so long I couldn't give a shite about the sport to be honest but I live and die for the spring in the box. Fans are classier, players arent frick ups, etc, etc.. It's far and above my favorite sport to follow. .

All those sexy men who are studying to be anesthesiologists.

You don't have to be the stongest fastest or tallest to be good at it.
You get to watch/play it everyday.
Happens during the summer, my favorite season
There is no time limit.
It's a buildup and probably takes the best hand eye coordination of any sport.

Baseball was passed down in my family, everyone played it from the time they could walk. Every year we'd go on a trip to Houston, St. Louis, or Atlanta to see a few MLB games. Saturday afternoons were NBC game of the week times(in the 60's this was all you would get). It was an ingrained thing with lots of good memories. I still go to at least 45 or more college games a year and a trip to some MLB city at least once a summer. Just walking into old Yankee and Fenway gave me goosebumps.

The objective in baseball is to go home.

went to every home lsu game since i was a little kid...loved it from day one, especially baseball at the box

As others have said, I played it growing up. Grew up in Beaumont, used to go to Golden Gators games as a kid, and of course Astros games. Always loved it.
As you get older, if you pay attention, there is so much more to the game than just throwing, hitting, and catching.

Baseball is the ONLY major sport where the DEFENSE POSSESSES THE ball. I am 55 years of age and continue to see plays in baseball that I have never seen before almost every year. If you like pouring over statistics, trends, and stategy, baseball is a sport like no other.

I started playing baseball at a very young age. As I got older I realized it was the sport for me. Ended up playing college ball for 4 years and still wish I could play today.

I grew up hitting the long ball. Chicks really did dig it!!

I started playing when I was 7. Starting young, friends that played with me, and then enjoying the hell out of it win or lose. The flame for it just kept getting hotter. And .....
