I can't remember a major league game where I could make eye contact with my dad. I kept wondering if he was going to yell at me for hanging a pitch or something.
I don't watch baseball - it's too long and boring.
I've always been a daydreamer. When the other kids were playing, I was listening to the roar at Yankee Stadium - I was always attracted to the roar of the crowd.
I've always been into sport, I watch all sport - I love golf, tennis, football and to me to box and have people in the arena cheering me on, I'll always miss that.
I just enjoy being around fans, man.
We see families making a vacation out of a NASCAR event. The average drive is 200 miles so they're often going to spend a few days with us.
Good spectator sports share certain fundamentals. Their competitors battle head-to-head. Their winners are determined objectively: fastest runner, most points. They are refereed, not judged.
I'm getting more and more bored with professional sports, but I still watch.
The booing and the drama help make the Olympics interesting, but at what cost? When will people finally get tired of it and start watching the X-Games or competitive tire rolling instead?
My high school was in the private school league, and we played all our games at the college stadium. It wasn't like we filled it, but we got a good crowd.
At home, I'm definitely not watching golf. I'd rather be watching baseball, basketball, football, whatever it is.
The world is filled with great sporting events.
We used to flock to watch gladiators, public torture and executions. In more recent times, our appetite for mortal violence has been sublimated in sports, photorealistic video games, film and literature.
Golf is the most fascinating game, but other people's game is the most boring thing.
I'm a huge sports fan, and I'm a huge entertainment fan.
What is so fascinating about sitting around watching a bunch of pituitary cases stuff a ball through a hoop?
I love my homeland, but it's an absurd country. Politics in the Philippines is like spectator sports!
People enjoy watching sports at the weekend and watching motor racing and whatever sports, and Formula One is the number one global platform which is competing regularly - not like the Olympic Games or the World Cup - so the macro case was this is something that we should be part of because it's going to grow, and it does.
Going out to play a game in front of 100,000 spectators doesn't worry me. Nothing to it.
We are inclined to think that if we watch a football game or a baseball game, we have taken part in it.
Let's say something like Olympics is happening, I will definitely watch because that is something which is live after so many months. I think sports will definitely get people to watch.
I don't want to come to an empty stadium.
I wish no teams had cheerleaders. I find it more distracting than anything else.
It's no accident that of all the monuments left of the Greco- Roman culture the biggest is the ballpark, the Colosseum, the YankeeStadium of ancient times.
Sometimes when I need to relax, I just watch in the stands how people are enjoying the tennis or what they are eating.
