Baseball....whats the point?

These past two days I have been in a baseball craze! This weekend the Red Sox and Yankees have been playing at Fenway Park in Boston, MA. I have put off doing reading for classes, and working on my 20 page paper due next week...and all of this for a BASEBALL TEAM? And my question is: is it worth it?

I mean don't get me wrong I LOVE and I mean LOVE the BoSox, and today is the day of my man Josh Beckett as pitcher. But I mean I love baseball, but has it ever loved me back? (As is asked in the ever popular Red Sox movie fever pitch).

But it makes you wonder what matters in life? I mean is it work, school, sports, or any other activities? How do we know?

I guess I may find the answer to this question in slipping end term grades due to baseball, but what are your views? Is loving something and enjoying it make it that important?
