Watch every pitch, every play, from every game?
Cy asks. Let’s see, there’s almost 300 pitches, and that’s going to take 3 seconds each. You’ve got 60 balls in play, and that’s 3-15 seconds each (say an average of 10 seconds), depending on runners on base. All told, that’s 1500 seconds, or 25 minutes a game. Let’s make it 30, or 2 games per hour. You watch for 7.5 hours a day, so 15 games a day. Yeah, you can do it.
Hockey is 60 minutes of game time, so you can watch 7.5 games a day, or 164 days to watch the whole season. You can do that to. Basketball is even shorter (though you need to add the free throw time).
Football? 150 plays or so, at 10 seconds a play, meaning 25 minutes a game. Make it 30. You can do that too.
