As sports go, baseball raises the fewest issues. For starters everyone is properly dressed. Even in women’s softball game they aren’t allowed to dress immodestly (by goysha standards). And there are no cheerleaders in baseball. There is a problem if they have a woman sing the national anthem(s), but that’s about it. The game is largely incomprehensible if you never played it. Of all sports (other than chess), baseball poses the fewest issues from frum Jews who want to participate in it – and participating in a sport ties in with watching it at a professional or collegiate level.
