A sport most
people would say is boring but those people are
people who don't know shit about it. This sport is
America's Past Time because of what it has done for the nation. It has kept The United States united throughout time, just think of 9/11. After the "terrorist" attacks in 2001, Baseball's World Series brought the United States together in a time of struggle and pain.
Baseball is also the only fair sport there is. You have to pitch the baseball over home plate to
get strikes which leads to getting outs to end an inning and eventually the
game for nine innings or more in
case of a tie leading to extra innings. The pitcher has to throw the Baseball over home plate it allows the opposing team to be able to hit the ball, if they can. You can't run out a clock like in other sports; you have to throw strikes in order to win.
It is also a very difficult
game. Take a Baseball player and put him in any sport and he
will compete. Take any other athlete and throw him a 95 mph (mile per-hour) fastball and he won't touch it.
Michael Jordan, greatest Basketball player of all time, retired from
Basketball in his prime to play Baseball then decided not to continue because of how difficult this sport is.
"Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and still be considered a
good performer," as said by Hall of Famer Ted Williams.
Other sports are great too but Baseball is G.O.A.T
