Perhaps if you knew more of the history of baseball, then you might find it more interesting and enjoy the game more. Some great players to read about are: George (Babe) Ruth-called his own home run by pointing where he would hit it that he promised for a little boy in the hospital, Tyrus Cobb-perhaps the meanest player ever in the game, but a great hitter, he would intentionally slide into base with his cleats up to kick the opponent, Cy Young-fabulous pitcher and has a pitcher's award named after him "The Cy Young Award", Jackie Robinson-first black player in professional baseball who broke a lot of barriers to play--they made a movie about it, Yogi Berra-perhaps a better coach than he was a player, his trite sayings are known as Yogisms, Ted Williams-held several batting titles and often had a batting average over 400, which is outstanding, Willie Mays-held the home run record for a very long time, Pete Rose-broke Ty Cobbs all time hit record but was banned from the Hall of Fame because he bet on the outcome of a game while he was a coach, Nolan Ryan-who frequently pitched balls clocked at around 102 miles per hour, the Chicago "Black Sox"-the 1919 Chicago White Sox in which several of the players threw the World Series by accepting a bribe to not perform at their best and there was a movie made about this called "Eight Men Out" and I was actually an extra in that movie!!, etc....

Not every game is exciting, but as was already mentioned, if you have a favorite team and you follow them, then you take a deeper interest in the game. Of course, a double header with a fight over a pitcher's duel (when pitcher's intentionally try to hit some batters with the ball, but not make it look obvious) in the 3rd inning of the first game makes for a very interesting game!!

Here are some youtube links that bring back the yesteryear:

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
