Justify the argument anyway you want. But, it all has the same issue. Only perception makes it different. And, as you reiterated my point, in football and basketball, anything can happen to change how a team scores or gets on offense. Thus, making time "seem" different and irrelevant. In baseball, that can't happen.

Baseball is a completely different sport b/c it doesn't have that. Again, there is only 1 way to score and only 1 way to get on offense. No other sport I am aware of has those set rules to determine who is allowed to score and who is allowed to be on offense.

I have no problem sitting through a 3 hour football game or a 3 hour baseball game. So, as far as I see it, the game is fine. The only thing I would like is less commercials. That's it. There's a reason why baseball is a "thinking man's" game. I, like many fans, am not watching the game for all of the "action". I watch it for the game and all its aspects. I want the game left alone. Time is not a problem for me.
