The national pastime

I was in the customer lounge at the Jiffy Lube, watching a baseball game on the television. The batter hit a long ball down the third base line; the left fielder scooped it up and made a tremendous throw to catch the batter at second. "Great play!" I said. The young man at the register looked at me with incredulity. "You think baseball is exciting?"
I replied, "Yeah. About every fifteen minutes there is five seconds of excitement."
