So, I watched up to 15 in the raws and I have to say pardon my words, this totally rapes the shit out of Major. Everything is way more realistic, the personalities and quirks of the people on the team are so much more realistic, and I just like the overall atmosphere better. Not to spoil anything, but when you're watching one of the games you really feel like, wow so this is High School Baseball? You see bands, school cheer squads, parents, etc. Unlike in Major the galleries/audiences are usually nonexistant. No squads?

Not to say Major isn't any good, but it's generally just good for it's drama I'd have to say. Bit surprised how good this is due to the fact that the author is a female. But hey there're some great female authors (Full Metal Alchemist among others). The technical side of baseball just blows Major away. Major's all like, here's one dude with a 100% baseball hitrate, and the rest can't even lucky swing a gyroball (which isn't even real). And they say "Damn, it's wayyyyyy to fast."
