My son is playing "other" so that's how I voted. As he hopefully progresses to higher levels of ball they'll be my favorite to follow.
I like the college game because you're close to the field and in general I think the hustle sets a great example for the younger kids.
My wife (and daughters) thinks they're the most handsome boys around too, so it not hard to get them to go with me.
Can't beat the price either!

Just:
Think how nice it would be with wood!

Yes indeed! 
Man, this was the most difficult poll question to answer of any I've encountered on this forum so far
I voted professional, but I'd break it down into separate categories, because my favorite venue is minor league ball, especially "A" ball. I love the ambiance of the small town supporting its team, the players who finally get to do nothing but play baseball--and get paid to do it--and are scrambling and scrapping and scratching to hold on and make it to the next level. I remember when my brother was playing for the Madison Muskies, then an Oakland "A" ball affiliate, and it snowed over Easter. The fans were bundled up in the stands, drinking beer and chanting "Go Fish, Go Fish!" and absolutely adoring their players. It was great. I love how folks get up and pass the hat so the kid who hits the homer gets a few more dollars in his pocket that night. Minor league ball has a purity about the game that you just don't see anwhere else, in my opinion.

Now that my son is playing college ball - it's college.
Last year it was high school.

Every level has its own "pluses":
In H.S., it's the chance to represent your town and to play with your friends you grew up with
In College, it's the "brotherhood" of a team that spends so much time together, and a chance to travel the country to play
In the pros, it's the excitement of being at an elite level, the beautiful stadiums, and the feeling of reaching the pinnacle of athletics.
**Each has its own reason to be the best - I guess my favorite was always the one I was in.

Everyone has there own choice as to what is the best game they like to watch.Hopefully they enjoy any baseball game!My personnel favorite is High School fall ball with wood bats.The game is not quite as offense minded as with alum and coaches can't play for the big inning.Most fall teams are made up of select players from all over the state/country and the pitching is far better than most high school teams.Not that most school teams don't have good pitchers but if you play a team on there 3rd game of the week you probably aren't going to see there # 1 or 2. With fall teams there 4 & 5 guys are most school teams #1.
Watching any game is fine with me,I learn things from all of them!I just enjoysome more than others.
