This is true ! while football and basketball are certainly pretty brainy in their own way they are also very physical. Baseball is of course physical but is a real thinking man's game. Something going on with every move. It can be enjoyed on a much simpler level too. A cold beer and a hot dog, sunny day at the park, good pitching matchup, babes in shorts and bikini tops and just watching the play by play without doing any thinking. It's got it all !
