There are no whistles in baseball. What other team sports is that also true?

1. Cycling?

2. Golf

Thankfully.

3. Is that primarily a team sport though? n/t

10. That was the first thing I thought of.

A whistle just as you were swinging would spoil the shot, and the tension of waiting for a whistle would be nerve-racking. Similar to baseball, where you don't want to spoil anyone's swing.

But then there's hockey, which is like golf on ice, and field hockey ... oh well.

4. Baseball isn't clocked.

Are there any other team sports that don't use a timer?

12. Here are a few

The lifespan of Galapagos tortoises
The growth cycle of giant sequoias
Stalactite formation
Wind-driven erosion of granite
Continental drift
Galactic orbits

None of these takes anywhere nearly as long as a baseball game, of course.

15. At least baseball has commercials only between half-innings...

... instead of every two minutes, like football. Why does a one-hour game take over three hours to play?

17. You're exaggerating.

Commercials in football happen only every 30 seconds.

Why does a one-hour game take over three hours to play?

Feh! That's like asking why M*A*S*H ran for 90 seasons longer than the actual war.

On the other hand, why do nine innings take longer than the heat death of the universe?

9. Yahcting doesn't use

whistles because they aren't loud enough, they use horns, shotguns, or cannons.

That said, dingy sailors use whistles all the time.

[Orrex]

13. Those dingy sailors should really clean themselves up.

Their whites look positively dim.

[Sgent]

21. LOL

dinghy... ooops

20. Beat me to it :)

No whistles, just lots of yelling, and usually cowbells in the audience.

[Bantamfancier]

14. Bowling

I'm still trying to finish a game from 1989.
Those beer frames take forever!
