Baseball games are designed to facilitate conversation. They did this back in your parents’ day, but today
with TVs that have nine-hundred channels, concession stands, and cell phones baseball is having
problems keeping butts in seats.
If you have offspring who can’t stomach sitting around at a game for three hours, you need to think of
ways to make the games more interesting. You can even raise the energy levels among the people around
you along the way.
Play Baseball Trivia
Between pitches, you could start a quiz with your family. It can be on any aspect of baseball, from what’s
going on now to the greats of yesteryear. Make it a regular part of going to a game by making and
bringing along some trivia cards.
It takes up only a few minutes and you can break it out with no preparation.
Bet on the Game
Yes, yes, we know that betting is illegal in most states, but there’s nothing wrong with betting between
friends and family. There are lots of different strategies for MLB bets. You can get complicated or just
keep it simple between friends. It’s a great way to create some healthy competition. You could even bet on how many home runs or strikeouts a team is going to get.
Bring Along a Beach Ball
The chances are if you are bored so is everything around you. Blow up a beach ball and toss it around the
crowd. Don’t worry about looking strange or weird. Whenever there’s a ball flying around people
naturally reach out to hit it. Get a game going and spend a few minutes having some fun. It will help the
time pass when you have already visited the concession stand for the fourth time today.
Talk about Strategy
This is what people used to do once upon a time. They would discuss all the possibilities and what the
coach should and shouldn’t do. It sounds simple, and that’s because it is. It’s easy to get into a talk about
strategy and debate for hours over it.
Play Fantasy Baseball
Technology may be taking over, but that doesn’t mean you have to avoid it altogether. Embrace it by
enjoying a round of fantasy baseball. Fantasy baseball is a great way to create some friendly competition
and debate.
These days it’s easier than ever to connect and update your fantasy team on the go. Get the whole family
involved. You may find a master player who goes on to win some of the grand prizes
