Now that my grandfather is almost completely deaf, I don't watch baseball 
much anymore.  It was necessary, in the past, so that I could have a proper 
conversation with the man. 

 Baseball is a beutiful game.  But, I haven't watched one game of the World 
Series this year; and, I gave up on football and basketball years ago, except 
for peeking in at a little college football,now & then, for old times sake.
