What do I love about baseball?

I love the dirt
I love the grass
I love the sacrifice bunt
I love stretching a single into a double
I love the sound of the crack of a bat
I love double headers
I love hard grounders kicking up the infield dirt
I love watching a ball sail over the fence, not just seeing it, but watching it fly
I love the sting you get from the bat
I love inside the park home runs
I love wearing my socks high
I love the unbreakable records
I love the hitter trying to out think the pitcher, and the pitcher trying to out think the hitter
I love the smell of the dirt
I love the smell of freshly cut grass
I love the smell of the ball
I love the smell of my glove
I love double play depth
I love the knuckle ball
I love the sound of my cleats on the concrete floor in the dugout
I love the white ball in the blue sky
I love the wheel play
I love a pitcher's duel
I love a 13-10 game
I love the pop from a catcher's glove after a 95 MPH fastball
I love the bleachers
I love hitting with no batting gloves
I love white sweat stains on my hat
I love cup checks
I love to block a pitch in the dirt
I love seeing a guy steal second, and then third in the same at bat
I love a 12-6 curve ball
I love the fact that it's played during the best season of the year
I love the superstitions
I love the history
I love full catchers gear, on a Saturday afternoon in 95 degree heat
I love that you can pick up a stick and a ball anywhere and start a game
I love that the mound isn't 60 feet from home plate, but 60 feet 6 inches
I love hitting streaks
I love 100 win seasons, and 100 loss seasons
I love sunflower seeds
I love getting dirty
I love tagging up from third base
I love the conversations you can get into in the dugout
I love watching, playing, reading, hearing, writing, drawing and thinking baseball
I love everything about baseball
