    Baseball isn't very universal. Outside of the Americas I don't think it is very popular in any country except Japan. Maybe it has picked up in other countries since I last followed. (I remember watching a college/semi-pro baseball game between the Philippines and Australia in some Asian baseball tournament....though they weren't very good.)

    Ice hockey and tennis are quite universal I think. Well, ice hockey at least in the Europe and US.

    I forgot the Canadians when making the poll. I regularly go to NHL and semi-pro hockey games when I'm back in the US (seems that I'm always in the US during the winter). It's a fun sport to watch.

    Women's tennis is my favorite sport to watch on television....all that grunting and moaning while in short skirts, that's entertainment right there! :wink:

    Pocket pool is popular for those, for whatever unimaginable reasons, cannot score in town...

    The only way you couldn't score in Dumaguete is if you were abnormally ugly.......and extremely broke. I have yet to meet a guy that unlucky.

    Golf was a favourite of mine back in Oz were I could play 9 holes almost anytime without all the flash motorized cart, caddies, rack girl and correct attire for around p800ish. Here I simply can't afford it, unlike so many other things here, where it works the other way.

    I had a membership at Ang Tay. Around 50k for a year. A bit overpriced for what it is. I still Ha e some clubs there if anyone would be interested in buying a set.

    two hours for a round of golf! you must be better than the average golfer mate. Even for nine holes.

    Cricket, I have to agree with you, more like watching grass grow.
