All popular American sports are the same, they last for hours and have very little action in them. Baseball is non-athletic, but it does require skill, much like Golf, Darts, Curling or Bowls. I didn't include Cricket in that list because they play longer, do more running, bowling and batting is more challenging and they don't get oversized gloves to catch the ball with.
Baseball is fun to play, it's a good way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon, but I could play a whole game without a problem, whereas I could barely last 10 minutes in a Soccer match.
