Hopefully this forum with eventually have more activity than the H2 forum which only has four pages.
Cross Game gains a lot of appeal for being more of a romance/coming of age anime than really a sports anime (there's even people that watched it without really knowing the rules of baseball).
Also it's 4 cours long so there was more time for discussion than a 1 or 2 cour show.

Chihayafuru's success on this board is due to similar reasons as well.
