Why baseball is the best sport.

Yes, I am really doing this right now.
(For all of you that hate on baseball.)

First off, a high school baseball coach once said, "I can teach you how to play football in a week, but if you want to make the baseball team, you better have been playing since you were a kid."
(Extra information)


1. It is the hardest sport to play, (Hardest thing to do in sports: Hit a round ball with a round bat)
2. Only sport where the winning team can't run out the clock, (Pussy move anyway)
3. You have to be the best, and prove it, there are 162 games in a baseball season, 16 in the NFL, 82 in the NHL, and 82 in the NBA.
4. There is no time constraint, each inning has no set time, it can go for hours on end, 162 times a year.
5. You can fail 7 out of 10 times and be considered very good, 4 out of 10, gets you labeled "legend"
6. History is made EVERY season, undoubtedly a player will reach a milestone every season.

Last of all, and most importantly; those who say baseball is boring, you are only saying that for the mere fact that you...can't succeed at it.

That will be all, thank you (:

many aspects of baseball are extremely mentally challenging, obviously you don't know much about baseball or ever competed at a high level to know the million different situational factors that could apply while running from first to second base. Clearly, driving 200mph is more exciting to participate in than running base to base but to compare them with an analogy like that is retarded.

Dont know anything about baseball? Oh dear god if you only knew. I damn well know the millions upon millions of situational factors of running from first to second. It was a simple analogy. Stop being so butthurt, I was proving a point to that guy.

I would say by the amount of hate baseball receives on this sight this thread was appropriate.


As for anyone talking about baseball not being physically demanding, you have never played.

you kinda made it seem as if the act of running from second to first base was mindless repetition that you would practice the same the exact same way every time (during a game or practice) which a lot of people probably assume who don't know shit about the game. Wasn't trying to insult your intelligence, just didn't make sense imo.

However, I'm happy you know your situational factors.

Ok hitting a gold ball, at least it isn't going 90 mph. What about the hundreds of thousands of different situations you can be in, as a batter or any of the 9 positions.

Golf: "theres a sand trap to your left bob and the hole is 300 yards away. what club should I use? I dont know bob lemmy check my iphone."

throwing a baseball is not a display of athletics, its a display of skill. my point still stands, i would like to see clemens run at most ONE mile anywhere close to under 8 minutes. which should be doable by most middle schooler.

That was a very horrible attempt at one upping me.

I'll admit Im being crude, golf is really fucking hard and I hate it because of it. but the amount of ignorant statements directed towards baseball stated by a bunch of dumb asses who have never played gets overwhelming at times.

ANY major league pitcher could run an 8 minute mile.

Pitchers have to use almost every single muscle in their body in unison to get the desired effect out of their pitches.


not athletic?

WOAH! I got completely mixed up between posts. I thought you were the guy that said throwing a baseball wasn't athletic.

I wasn't specifically referring to you as one of the dumb asses, just generalizing the majority of posts referring to baseball.

I like how the baseball argument works a lot like the inception one,

"Oh you didn't like Inception?"

"You just don't get it"

This Thread is a Joke.

Baseball is only interesting for three people. The Pitcher, Catcher, and the Person at bat. Also, the reason baseball is boring is because the only time anything happens is when a peson hits the ball, which like you said, happens 4/10 times on a good day.

Lacrosse is a Mans Sport.Constant Action, Constant tactics, and one of the most Physically Damanding sports their is. Not to mention the spectators dont fall asleep.....

Oh, and Fat Asses Play Baseball, A Real sport requires its Athletes to be Athletic.....

in my opinion

BASEBALL IS THE MOST UN-ENTERTAINING, BOTH BORING TO PLAY AND WATCH.

who said they only hit the ball 4/10 times

Getting thrown out or flying out counts as being unsuccessful. As for the other retard, ya baseball is really boring to watch. I really dislike MLB, but just like most other professional sports it really is a whole different game compared to say college. And it is most definitely not boring to play. At a college level its extremely exciting. Your always thinking and, in the outfield at least, running a lot.

As I said before anyone who says it not athletic or physically demanding never played at a competitive level.

On a side note I've never played lacrosse but my roommate played high school lacrosse and he's a pussy. ;)

Wrong. I play CF and SS and it is in no way boring. I dont care that the ball will only be put into play less than half the time. its the fact that something could happen that appeals to me.1 swing of the bat,1 bad pitch, or 1 mental error can change the entire face of the game. The staggering mental aspect is what baseball haters dont understand or appreciate, hence all these threads.


Everybody has their own opinion, keep them to yourself.

too bad they all need steroids to do it
and im pretty sure history is made in every sport, every year. thats kinda how history works.

i dont think finding baseball boring has anything to do with not being able to succeed at it, its merely based on my personal preference of a game that has a faster pace.

also im pretty sure baseball is a pastime not a sport

i still dont get that "8 minute mile" argument. i mean, its standard requirement for every recruit in the austrian army to run 2400 m in 12 minutes, which is exactly the same amount of metres/minute. everybody has to pass that test, fat guys, small guys, computer nerds, etc

gosh, that is slow as fuck, at least for professional athletes. i am not a professional, but ran the 2400 in 8 minutes, so dont make this an argument, even if it is true, its not a huge accomplishment.

I don't understand why people care that some people like baseball. At least its not like hockey in Canada where the season lasts 365 days and you turn on sportcentre when the Jays have their home opener and the top story is how Phil Kessel has a headache.

c'mon I know there's a lot of hate and love in this thread, but we just gotta remember that baseball is our(US) national past time. It's probably way easier for a parent to watch their son play while chatting it up with the other parents. I love going to an actual game way more than watching it on TV, just like I'd rather be at the X games rather than watching it on TV, it's about the experience. But as far as baseball being the "best" sport, that is very condescending, and your facts and stats don't necessarily make it the best sport.
