For example,,, Whenever a baseball game finishes, you hear quite often people saying things like, The Yankees won 5 to 3 or the Red Sox beat the Angels 16 to 3. You rarely hear about as often with other sports as much. If it was a basketball game, you dont hear as much people saying the Lakers beat the Knicks 99 to 75. You just hear them saying whichever team won. Or a hockey game where they say the Rangers won 4 to 2. Same thing with all the other sports. Why is baseball so important for people to tell you the score of the game and not as much with other sports?
