I haven't seen baseball teams so close at the end of the season in a while. That to me is exciting. Comebacks that will be talked about from generation to generation. How many people do you know tell there grand kids about famous 'swimmers' in there day.

You're saying baseball is more universal then olympics ? You're in a bubble
It's not going to be a legend grandfathers tell to their kids, it's going to be a record that will be held and talked about at pretty much every olympics for a long time.
Right now the name of Micheal Phelps is known by a couple billions people, you can't say that about any baseball player.
It's not even close of beeing at the same level. It's world wide.
