The best game ever created. A game that takes exceptional athleticism, exceptional knowledge of the game, and intelligence. The only sport in which you can succeed 30% of the time and be considered great. That in itself shows how difficult of a sport it is to play. Many people argue that hitting a baseball is the most difficult thing to do in all of sports. Now whether you disagree or agree, there is no question that hitting a 90+ MPH baseball is extremely difficult and takes a great amount of skill. Not to mention the ball can curve, cut, sink, slide, etc. Also, throwing a baseball is one of the most unnatural things that your body can do, and throwing it with great velocity is a very special thing that very few can do. The most difficult sport to play (except maybe for golf) by far. Anybody can pick up a basketball or a football and be decent at it without ever practicing, that does not apply in baseball. You either can play the game, or you can't. Bottomline: it is America's favorite pastime and always will be. It's more than just a game, it's a way of life.

baseball is a game in which extreme amounts of mental toughness/concentration are needed in order to play successfully, also known as america's pastime.
a player on a baseball field has to be ready for the ball to be hit to them every single pitch. Lets say you don't have the ball hit your way the entire game until the final inning (9th in MLB) after being mentaly prepared for roughly 150 pitches (2 and a half hours, give or take) without seeing it come your way, in that play you drop the ball causing your team to lose...extremely taxing on the mind, do not ever say this game is easy until you try this.

Baseball, quite simply, is amazing. It's a sport in which mental toughness, execution, and skills are put to the test. Anyone who dislikes this sport has big issues. This sport has the power to bring families together, and is a huge part of childhood, and a bonding moment between a son and his father, or grandfather. It is a way of life, and is a huge success in America, the greatest country on earth! GO BRAVES!!!
baseball is awesomeness

The Dumbest "Sport" ever created by human beings. This game is probably easier than Nascar, which is driving in a circle 600 times. Baseball is a sorry excuse for a sport. A game where players can be overweight and still be professional. Each game takes about 5-6 hours, 98% of which is fat American men standing in a field for hours and chewing tobacco. A game where you use 10 year old motor skills.
"watch me catch this ball with this giant glove, oh my god this is so hard!!"
Baseball players and watchers honestly do not have a life, watch a sport that has action in it for GODS SAKE!!

Billy Bob: "Hey Frank! want to go play baseball with me?!"
Frank: "Billy bob, you know we're both 100 pounds overweight!"
Billy Bob: "Oh its ok! baseball doesn't require any atheletic skills anyways!"
Frank: "hmm, you're right Billy. I even have 6 hours to not do anything today! when i get home im going to put on my wife beater and drink some bear, i'm such an american redneck!

Okay, I am just responding to that really long definition about the kid who said that baseball was an "unathletic" sport. If you would do some god-damn research you would realize that baseball is a very athletic sport. First of all, hitting a ball going 90 miles per hour with a 3 inch wide bat takes athleticism and hand-eye-coordination. And to hit a homerun u need to hit the ball 300-400 ft, now don't tell me that hitting a ball going 80-100 mph for 300-400 ft doesn't take athleticism. In Basketball all you need to do is dribble the ball, which u learn when ur 5, and then throw the (big) ball and the (big) hoop. And if you are tall all you need to do is stand in front of a guy and put ur hands up and block the shot. And did u know that Micheal Jordan SUCKED ASS when he came to play baseball. so what u said about anyone being able to play is bullshit. And what about soccer? All you need to do is kick a ball, into a net. For baseball, it takes lots of athletic ability to throw a ball 90-100 mph, and make it drop, curve, cut, etc. So before u get alll mad at baseball, do some research about it....PS--last time I checked, in Football, when you are on offense or defense, you are sitting for longer then you are during baseball. And baseball is a 162 game season, and they only have 18 off days. 162 games in 180 days! now that takes stamina, skill, athleticism, determination, which is why baseball is the best sport ever!
That kid who was talking about baseball needs to get his head outta his ass and stop talking about baseball. The only reason he makes fun of baseball is because he sucks at baseball, and because of his failed attempts at the sport, he likes to make fun of it.
