One of them is grammatically incorrect.
If i am not wrong, 「私は野球の試合を見ることが好きです。 」 is grammatically incorrect.
Interesting topic. I went to look up a book used to teach Japanese.
Like to share the following with you guys. In this case, both can be used. 「のが」 is more preferred cause it sounds more natural. See the image shaded with the box.

I learned something new too. =)
I also posted the same question up on Yahoo! Chiebukuro to get some native feedback. The reply i got was
=========
どっちも正しいんですが(´・ω・`)(
のが、だと少し(僕基準で)ことより軽い気がします
わけると、
私は野球の試合を見ること が好きだ
私は野球の試合をみる のが好きだ
これだと2つ目の方で、「こと」を「の」で省略しているのがわかります
かしこぶってみました(´・ω・`)実は良くわからん
===========
どちらも正しいですよ。
「こと」の方が若干文語的・堅苦しい、「の」の方が口語的・やわらかいという程度の違いではないでしょうか。

i personally think 初級日本語文法と教え方のポイント is more advanced and has more points to talk about, cos it's mainly for Japanese teachers.
They are bout the same...

yes. If it's the old book...urgh, i got the old version when i went japan a few wks ago, i dont see the new version!
btw, is it worthwhile to get the 200 and 500 expressions as well? are the contents repetitive?
If you can, i advise you to revise on your own. Save money. Money is not so easy to earn nowadays. If you have any questions, just ask us.
