Sitting down on a red couch in my living, I, along with my dad and my two younger brothers eagerly watched the PGA Championship this past weekend. One of golf's most iconic tournaments, it is something we've all looked forward to for a long time now. As the golf progressed, I found my eyes veering away from the television more and more as I was captivated by the ongoing baseball game that was transpiring. A regular season matchup between the Boston Red Sox and the Baltimore Orioles, it seemed to be nothing more than a baseball game….but boy was I mistaken. Although I love the Sox, I didn't really care for them at the moment, I just wanted to watch the golf.

The game started off as projected, the much better team in the Red Sox jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the first inning. However, this was short lived as the Orioles responded in the second inning to take control of the game 4-3, but, this didn't nearly captivate me as much as the drama that was unfolding on the golf course. I didn't think twice to check in on the baseball before it was too late. As the golfers have reached the back half of the 18-hole course, my phone vibrates with a notification - It's the sixth inning and the Red Sox are winning 11-10. Now, for all the non-baseball fans out there, this is an abnormally high scoring game with much more baseball left to be played. Still, I didn't care much for the game...Tiger Woods was making a push. I laid my phone back down on the coffee table in front of me and went to work cheering on my favorite golfer.

About 20 minutes passed before I heard my brother emphatically exclaim that the Sox have extended their lead by three more runs. It's now 14-10 with two more innings still to come. Now, this is where my interest begins to peak. I'm no longer glued to the television set watching the golf; I want to know why the baseball game is scoring so high. I check a live feed on my phone and see that the Red Sox have set a benchmark for the most runs scored this season. As excited as I am to hear this, I know the game is not over just yet. We've still got more baseball to play - let's close this one out.

Now, just to be clear, I am not one who is normally passionate about baseball. I rarely watch games on TV as it is. I am an avid Sox fan nevertheless, but I can't bring myself to sit down and watch a game for nine straight innings. It sounds torturous. But to me, something just seemed different about this particular game. It was full of action and scoring. The drama was set in stone and I wanted to see my favorite team come out on top.

And I am thankful for my decision to switch over to watching baseball that day. The Red Sox would go on to score more runs and end up with a win. The final, 19 to 12 was one of the highest scoring games in Major League Baseball history.

Even if you're not a baseball fan like me, you should at least consider taking time to read about what's happening while your favorite team is playing. You never know, they may surprise you.
