Which one would it be?

Appropriate comments only, I’ll nuke anything that isn’t tasteful.

For me, obviously, it’s softball. I played baseball for years, and when I started attending FSU softball games I was treated to a game that is pure, simple and very often about defense and pitching.  I’m an old school kind of baseball fan. I think a 2-1 pitcher’s duel is way better than a 15-11 gorilla-ball home run derby. So, in FSU softball I get to see players that truly play for the love of the game and a format that lends itself to those 2-1 nail biting contests that I adore.

The women’s teams are truly about love of the game, unlike the men’s teams in which players are so often motivated by the promise of future stardom and money. Sportsmanship is at its highest level with women’s sports, but the competitive juice is there too. Don’t be fooled, the ladies want to win and work long, hard hours to get those victories, just like the men, but fueled solely by the love for a game.

So, I ask the readers to comment, which sport would you follow if you had to pick one? Or, which do you willingly follow?
