Average Baseball Game 90% Standing Around

The Wall Street Journal whips out its stopwatch again in this morning’s paper. This time the focus is on pro baseball, which the paper estimates has just 17 minutes and 58 seconds of action in a typical game. In other words, 90 percent of the time, players are just standing around. That’s actually better than the average NFL game, which the Journal analyzed back in 2010 and found just 11 minutes of action.
