I love playing waterpolo.

It requires strength and finesse, teamwork and individual skill and huge reserves of grit and determination, nothing else quite feels the same to me. I guess that's why we all like the sports we do...they just have that je ne sais quoi that appeals to each of us individually.

It generally is available on TV or the web.

I love baseball. It's not just that it's exceedingly complex and can be thoroughly exciting in the playoffs. It's just as much the ambiance of going to a ball game. It's really something that can't be explained, it must be experienced.

Im with you on that. Played baseball for about 9 years and have been itching to get back into. Think I might play during college.

Mountainbike
It's strange... I can swoosh down the slopes on skis, but when I get on a mountainbike I get terrified!

Maybe it's because if I fall on skis I at least have the hope of landing in deep snow, while in summer there is just a very hard ground with rocks all over...

But to be honest, I think it's just cause I have been skiing all my life, while mountainbiking came when I was already a teenager...

Have the outmost respect for mountainbikers though!

Waterpolo
Tried it once, never again. It should be called water rugby, or water wrestling... Or why not "let some guy twice your size with lungs like a whale do his best to keep you under the surface till you get blue".

No seriosly, I felt like a complete idiot.

I am rather well trained, I swim ok, have always been good at ball sports...

So I tagged along to a friends training, the team is good but by no means world class!

I was... Brutalized... And had soem near death experiences...

15 min into the training I was by teh edge of the pool, arms on land, breathing heavily, body completely DEAD, swearing "never again".

I dont know what they feed the guys who do waterpolo, but I was so tired in my whole body that I couldnt imagine people doing this for fun...

So again, ALL respect...

Baseball

I thought this sport was soooooooooo lame... Untill I got to the states and watched a game live.

I think that half of what makes baseball fun is, as has been said, the atmosphere and the traditions. cause lets face it, the sport aint THAT fun, nor to play or to watch.

But, as I watched it live, I was strangely drawn into the game. Very unexpected, I must say.

Guess it's a bit like soccer, also boring in theory, but great live when good teams play.
