That was 1899. I'd love to see how many refs have been killed from soccer compared to umps in baseball. Back in 1899, baseball was the best thing to do in America.
Also, since I'm being fair, I'm gonna fix some comments. Baseball games are rarely 4 hours, unless they go into extra innings, in which case, those are the most exciting games. Consider that your "sudden death" in soccer.
On average, an MLB game is 2.5 - 3 hours. So yes, I would rather spend 1 hour AT a baseball game, where the atmosphere is much more AMERICANO than 1 less hour at a soccer game, where people blow horns that they bought for 50 cents at some vendor, and pray to GOD that the fans don't riot and start murdering everyone in site, which is exactly what happens in just about every game outside of the United States.
I'm still trying to decide...it may not even be 1 hour more, considering you guys do injury time and half time.
And I understand, you like soccer, I like baseball. But I'm just telling you exactly how soccer is seen by Americans. Which is the right way.
