Someone find me a football game with this level of excitement. Find me a football game where every single second is a possible turn of fortune. You can't, because in even the closest, most dramatic late-fourth-quarter football games there is ten minutes of stopping play to regroup and mill around like students waiting to go back inside after a fire drill.
Baseball is, hands down, the most exciting sport that we have ever created. Nothing will ever come close to the ninth inning of a tied baseball game for sheer, unmitigated terror mingled harmoniously with exhilarating glee.
Go Sox. Go baseball. f*** the Yankees!
