One of my favorite parts of Ken Burns' Baseball is when some old white dude (doesn't really cut it down, sorry) starts talking about how he loved baseball because he didn't have to watch baseball all the time, but could whenever he wanted to. There was and is a comfort in the knowledge that for half the year if you want to watch a game you can just turn on your tv, radio, or internet-connected screen of choice and go nuts.
It's also the worst thing about baseball. Like a video game player who must finish every game they own with 100% completion or a collector relentlessly pursuing the final card/stamp/record/coin/whatever to complete a set you can lose the things that made it all fun in the first place if you never stop.
