Any Yankee Warriors out there who can write me a WSO that explains your religion of baseball before the weekend? (Big game at the SCG)

Are these good teams?
Should I care?
Will there be hotdogs at the game?
Do I get a prize if I catch a flyball?

Dodgers, Diamondbacks arrive Down Under

    Are these good teams?
    Usually, but that can change from year to year.

    Should I care?
    About what? Whether they are good teams? About baseball in general?

    Will there be hotdogs at the game?
    There would be in America, no idea what will be offered in Australia. Might be kangaroo dogs for all I know.

    Do I get a prize if I catch a fly ball?
    In the US you'd get to keep the ball for a souvenir. Things could be different there. You might be able to get it autographed.

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

      Thankyou Sir! I'm going for the big catch then. Is this a dime sale? Paypal payment on its way.

    The Dodgers should have a very good team. They have one of the highest payrolls in baseball. The Diamondbacks are usually playing meaningful baseball late in the year, meaning they have a shot as the post season, but I don't know how they stack up this year.

    I love baseball, but it's not for everyone. It's not as action-packed as say, football. But there are a lot of nuances and games within the game. I usually have baseball on in the background when I'm working during the season.

    I caught a foul ball once too. Hit by Todd Benzinger of the Boston Red Sox years ago. I gave it to a kid. Should have seen his eyes light up.

      Too cool! I bet that kid was very excited. I have to admit that one of my favourite sports movies is 'The Natural' with the young Bobby Redford. Sure would have loved to have seen the NY Yankees play the Dodgers. Maybe some other time. MLB Season HERE WE GO!!!
