I've been offered a ticket, but turned it down.

The Olympic stadium is an arsehole to get to and it kicks off at 6pm. I'm also led to believe that unless you're behind home plate, it's impossible to see the ball as it travels at light speed.

I went to the American football at Wembley and it just seemed like a lot of downtime (almost perfect for TV) and silly distractions like mascots and t shirt guns to stop the spectators twigging nothing is happening. I imagine this could be the same but with a lot more swinging and missing.

I'd love to see the Yankees or the Sox in America, it's on the bucket list, but this feels a bit forced for me. We don't really do sports "entertainment" like the yanks. Probably a lot better on their manor.

Baseball is the only reason I have BT sport. One stat that stands out is that Cal Ripken Jnr played 2632 consecutive games (he’s the anti-Wickham) in a sport where injuries are very hard to avoid.
Ironically the player he took the record from was Lou Gehrig who came to an unfortunate end.

I’m a Red Sox fan ( I was born in Boston )but I’m not going to the games.

I don’t like the stadium and unless you pay heavily for the top price tickets you won’t get a decent view.

Now I’m naturally biased of course, but if you do go to a game in the States then I recommend an evening game at Fenway Park.

I saw the Red Sox play the Astros there a few weeks ago and paid $100 for a terrific view.

Whoa back, whoa back: you're selling it to me now!

Terrific view being where in relation to the batsman?

Advice appreciated.

Thanks
