53, I am English although I have lived more years in Wales than England and I'm in England now - all the UK...Don, I woould say to me that baseball reminds me of the school game rounders (but I don't dispute the skill). Of the hitting bat with a ball game my favourite is cricket - a sport that many over here find boring. It is tactical but the same teams of 11 just keep on going... (see below)
Soccer doesn't do much for me these days but my interest comes and goes.
Of the more American style football games, I prefer to watch rugby union (even if fitnness levels and some would argue skill may not be as high as the leauge variety) to its rival. The most fascinating game to me is Australian rules - it really does look a good one.
I'm afraid from my perspective, the American game is just too much, "stop, weve been going 1 minute, let's discuss tactics for 1/2 hr, change players aroud so we have a side devoted to that next 15 seconds play", etc. to hold any real appeal to me. I'd rather see one team battle it out with few stops and starts.
