Most boring sport (was What's the fun in baseball?)

I have never watched baseball so I can't comment directly.  However, 
I think there must be some serious rivals for most boring sport.

I find cricket dull i the extreme.  And I have always imagined that 
some Scotsman, overhearing that the English had the most boring game 
in the world, was impelled by a fit of patriotic enthusiasm to invent 
golf.

The BBC does its bit to keep audiences in a permanent state of torpor 
by allocating large blocks of programming from time to time to the 
laughably named 'world' snooker championships (contestants have been 
known to hail from as far away as Ireland).  That these are held in 
Sheffield tells the prospective viewer all he needs to know.
