World Series is baseball.

Baseball is great because you can continue to play it (men's softball) until you're pretty old actually. Basketball is tough because after a while all of that running/jumping takes a toll on your back and knees. Being younger, playing football is appealing because of putting on all of the pads (makes you feel invincible). You only get to play one game per week though, so its mostly practice, but as you get older, and you don't go college/pro, you play in local flag football leagues (no pads, full contact, can't 'tackle' the runner, but you still whack him anyway), but at some point its ridiculous because you can't risk the injury (try telling your boss you can't come to work on Monday because you were playing football!) (25-26 was about the end of it for me)

People think soccer isn't popular in the US, it is, it just isn't AS popular as baseball/basketball/football. As a child, I played soccer too.

I'll 'bust' on soccer, but just in jest.

They had the World Cup here in 1994 and naturally I watched a couple of games on TV. USA beat Colombia 2-1, guy headed the ball into his own goal. He was shot and killed in Colombia. That story really bothered me. If I had known that ahead of time, I would've hoped the US would've lost.
