You got it

In one of my first posts in this great community, I mentioned that I liked baseball, although it was not a sport that particularly attracted me, I did it more out of nostalgia since it was the first unconventional sport for my country that I saw abroad, I said At that time, back in 1993 when I made my first visit to the United States, I had to attend some events for the 25th anniversary of a software company that my company represented here and its headquarters were in the beautiful city of Cincinnati in the state of Ohio. There they took me to see Riverfront Stadium and I saw the Reds against the Padres, I think it was like that because so many years have passed that I don't have it so present, maybe it was the Rockies, maybe. I should look for the photographs that I took at that time, with a roll, developed and printed on paper of course, there were no digital cameras at that time, much less smartphones that took pictures, although the first mobile phones that at that time needed a camera were already appearing. a large additional box that was hung from one shoulder with some straps, reminded me of the old radios that were used in the Second World War, it is not that I witnessed those events but that I had watched series and movies on that theme ad nauseam, such as Combat.

As always happens, I left the main topic because memories, when they are old but have left a mark on our memory and character, want to flow and be told, so that others know what the past was like and to relive those times that were not they will return

The concrete thing is that from that moment I began to be interested in the sport that is rarely practiced here. But I was lucky that around those years the ESPN sports network began to broadcast matches for the whole world and I saw some matches here, mainly the defining matches and the grand final. I became a fan of the Reds of course, like those newborn animals who believe that the first thing they see is their mother and they become attached to the person who attended the birth. Then when I saw the Atlanta Braves and their cheering cry brandishing the air with their hands as if it were a tomahawk, I loved it and I also sympathized with them, plus it was easy because in those years they dominated baseball and became champions or at least arrived at defining instances for several seasons.

With the passage of time, I lost my enthusiasm a bit, mainly because the matches they broadcast were few and often boring. If I tried to watch almost every year at least the so-called fall classic that crowned the champion.

But when I arrived in this community and saw that many here comment on this sport and not only about the big leagues but also about what happens in each country where baseball is a sport that excites the public, little by little I left more interested, just when I decided that I would watch matches again, also helped by the latest rules that have obviously made the game more dynamic and entertaining, in the two main channels they decided that Argentina is not a sport that attracts an audience and of course ratings and the meetings were delayed. But something magical happened, I suppose it's not magical but a matter of the number of hours and signals that they have and that they must fill in some way, and the meetings that they transmit have once again been an interesting number.

For reasons that only they manage, it is common to see baseball games on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, mysteriously, and to my complete displeasure, on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays there is no action on TV for this sport.

On Sunday, for example, I saw the beating that the Yankees received from the Orioles, in the first inning they went up 7 runs, then the bleeding stopped in part and a less hard 9 to 3 was the final result.

Yesterday I had two live matches at the same time (a lot or not at all), they broadcast Rays vs. Yankees and Marlins vs. Phillies, I opted again for the Bronx Bombers, not that I like them, but they are the most emblematic and well-known team in many places and it is always interesting to see them, although this season they have been performing quite poorly.

Another interesting game, in a few innings the Rays took a 5-1 lead with the rather unusual feature that all the runs came from home runs.

Luckily for me, today I had a difficult day due to work, and a visit to the dentist that will be hampered by a subway stoppage, made me decide to go early to rest. The match ended without changes on the scoreboard despite the fact that I missed seeing a few entries.

As you can see, you dear friends of @fulldeportes have made me excited again about a non-traditional sport here and it is very fun and exciting, my only drawback is not having anyone around to talk about the matches and the progress of the tournament, I don't know anyone who likes it.
