Me, Im more of a hitters fan, mainly because thats actually what I can do in baseball--but its also thrilling to hear the crack of the bat and the ball properly placed in the outfield getting runs to score across the plate, or even better, plastering that baseball over the outfield wall as all runs score.
Its a game of skill, strategy and strength
I like the no-hitter too, thats so difficult to do, and as you say it does get very nerve wracking in the closing innings. I was fortunate enough to see the Cardinals and the Red Sox hurl no hitters in my lifetime, those are thrilling.
Going to the game is even better, you can feel the atmosphere of the fans, you can feel the energy of the game and you can actually see the talented players make their great plays and hit their homers and strike batters out while you still get to enjoy some classic italian sausages wrapped in some nice chewy french bread with sweet peppers.
For one day, all 6-8 strangers surrounding you are your best friends though you'll probably never see them again. Still when the hometeam scores a run or strikes a big batter out, you'll be high fiving them, etc.
Great stuff.
