[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8473506, member: 6704184"] My aunt is a lifelong baseball fan of the kind who keeps score cards while watching or listening to games, and tracks things like season RBI and such for her favorite players. She tracks promising players through minors into major league ball. When I have a question or want a mediator on a baseball related argument, I call her. Like the time my friend and I argued about whether The Sandlot or A League of Their Own was the better baseball movie. She said that A League of Their Own is a beautiful movie about baseball players, but Sandlot is the best baseball movie, possibly ever. But she doesn't know all the rules, and I've heard from her and a lot of other baseball nerds that knowing all the rules and interactions between rules in baseball is a hugely specialised skillset that 99% of fans shouldn't even try to achieve. Baseball is rules heavy. [/QUOTE]
