Monday, March 12, 2012  How Poker and Baseball Compare in
Excitement  Just like with Baseball, the games of poker is
sometimes filled with hours of boredom followed by moments of
pure excitement.  Deal the cards, someone raises, and everyone
folds.  Rinse, lather, and repeat.  Sounds very similar to the
game of baseball.  The players take the field.  Throw to the
players, three of them strike out, pop or ground out, and switch
for the other team to have their time at the plate.  However, as
you will see below, both games also have moments of thrilling
excitement, and those are the moments that fans of both live
for.  Take for instance baseball.  It is the bottom of the sixth
inning and the game is notted up at 0-0.  So far, the game has
been a pitchers duel with both teams only giving up a couple of
singles each.  The number six hitter is up with a .273 average
and 12 homers on the season.  Not a big power threat.  The
pitcher makes a mistake and hangs a curveball that the batter
launches to deep right.  Fans
