Baseball is not inherently geeky. But there are many, many people who are complete geeks about baseball. And I don't mean "man, that guy sure LOVES baseball," I mean people who are straight up nerds about it. But instead of nerding out over Kirk vs. Picard, they nerd out over numbers and instead of creating awful fan fiction they create impossible to understand statistical formulas.
