Favorite Niche Sport?

So putting aside the Big 6, let's say they're NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, College Football, College Basketball...what is your favorite "niche" sport to follow?

I know some of you are big MMA fans, others Boxing (or maybe the same people like MMA and Boxing), there are NASCAR fans, golf fans, some soccer fans.

So I'm wondering, what (if any) niche sport do you like to follow, and why? Is it any of the above? Is it something else? F1 Racing? Cycling? Cricket? College Hockey?

As I've mentioned here I'm a fan of tennis and lately I've become really fascinated with horse racing and its rich history

What about you?

La Liga and the Premier League. Not sure though if that qualifies as a niche sport.

In the USA, yeah I think it would be

I would say Soccer for me, especially when either the US or Ecuador (my home country) play.

I love lacrosse. Not MLL so much, but the college game is so much fun. And of course I really enjoy watching and playing golf.

I'm a waning MMA fan. I guess not "waning" but I have definitely lost the diehard in me for it. MMA is going to suffer from one thing that seemingly makes it great..no one stays on top too long anymore. That makes it great for a while because it is never predictable and it keeps it exciting but in the long run people like a little more consistency I think and the fact that there are only a few guys who are really on the top dominate right now is hurting it's broader appeal.

I really got into college baseball this year. The new bat restrictions made the games faster are much more tactical and intense. I am sorta jonsing for a new season of that more than anything other than football.

lacrosse - the running and hitting are reminiscent of football. Great game.

soccer - especially at the highest levels. Called "The Beautiful Game" for a reason.

cricket - easier to get into if you are in a country where it is played. Like high-scoring baseball without the foul lines.

Sprint Car Racing

I like the horses, mainly because I live 5 minutes from the Saratoga Race Track. I used to work there summers when I was in college, great summer job.

You ever been there before? It's definitely worth the trip up from NYC.
