“It’s a long drive, Deep to center, The centerfielder is back, Way back, At the wall...It bounces off the wall. One Run is in the second is being waved around third, There’s going to be a play at the plate. The relay, The throw, He slides...” If that didn’t get your blood pumping than I don’t know what will. Baseball is filled with intensity and adrenaline. That is just one reason why baseball is a lot better than all other sports.
Baseball is fast-paced, intense, and requires coordination and skill, that is why it is the best sport to watch, play, or follow. Baseball isn’t a timed game; It is unpredictable and you never can guess what will happen next. This gives you a feeling of intensity and adrenaline. Another plus is that Baseball focuses on all skills. It focuses on Speed, Arm Strength, Power, Agility, Aim, Coordination, Timing, and Knowledge of the game. Also, another reason why baseball is the best sport is because while playing baseball you are less likely to

get major, life-threatening injuries. Most injuries that occur in baseball aren’t life threatening in fact, sometimes they aren’t even serious at all. The reasons players are pulled out of a game is so that their muscles or bones may not be quite fit to play baseball at that time. They are taken out of the game to protect their muscles and bones, not necessarily to be taken to the hospital or put under medical care. Many people say that baseball is slow moving and boring to play or watch. However, this is absolutely false. Reports say that the average baseball game lasts shorter than the average football or golf game. According to MLB.com the average baseball game is under 3 hours. NFL games last over 3 hours! Also, reports show that of the 3+ hours of football games approximately 11 minutes of that is the only time that the ball is actually in play. Talk about boring and slow-paced! Also, according to Hammock Creek Golf Course in Florida the average 18 hole golf game lasts over 4 hours! That’s long and slow moving. The average golf game time almost doubles the amount of time the average baseball game is. Baseball is truly the best sport because any person, no matter the shape or size can be good at baseball.
There are so many different skills that are important to playing baseball and really make a difference in the game. These skills are speed, power, arm strength, agility, aim, coordination, knowledge of the game, and timing. Everyone can be good at one of these skills maybe more, but nobody is good at all of these skills. That’s why it takes a team to play baseball. It doesn’t matter if you are skinny, hefty, short, or tall. Any size or shape of person can be good at playing baseball. Some people say the same about playing basketball but, this is not true. You probably won’t make the basketball team if you can’t shoot a hoop. If you are short and slow you probably won’t be on a basketball team either, unless the team is really desperate. Although, if you are short and slow you can be a prime homerun hitter, pitcher, or 1st baseman. The possibilities are endless when it comes to playing
baseball. Baseball really hits it out of the park. That is why it really is the best sport. You don’t have to be tall to be good. You don’t have to be strong to be good. Any shape or size of a person can be good at something when it comes to baseball. Baseball is intense and so unpredictable. You can never know what will happen in the game, nor how long the game will last. That is why baseball is the best sport. “It’s back, way back, It’s got a chance...Gone!” Hit it out of the park with baseball!
Baseball has been of the longest living sports in our world today. The game started with the idea of a stick and ball and now has become one of the most complex sports known in our society. Several rules and regulations have been added to help enhance the game for everyone. Although baseball has endured several issues during its history and development of the game the game has still been a success throughout the world.
Baseball is a simple game. You throw the ball. You hit the ball. You catch the ball.
“Batter up!” the umpire yelled from behind home plate on the diamond-shaped field for the inning to begin. Adrenaline rushed through the players’ veins as the crowd cheering echoed from the bleachers to the outfield. Softball and baseball are team sports which both require an umpire and a diamond shaped field. All players are important.
Baseball is not a difficult game to comprehend, but it can a very long time to achieve a high level of performance. Usually one starts playing this game at a very young age and the first thing they start out with is throwing. Throwing a baseball involves exploiting all major muscle groups in the body to generate a large torque on the arm that will in turn create a high potential for speed when it is released.
In both baseball and football you also get to wear a uniform. They are usually your team’s color scheme and a number they give to you or you pick. Both sports also where helmets and cleats for safety precautions. However many players still get hurt. Baseball and football were both created in the 1800’s. You have to have hand eye coordination and physical capabilities to run, swing, or catch a ball. Also, you need to be able to predict the other players and teams next moves. So you need to keep a clear mindset and use teamwork.
To become a NFL player, you experience two phases, or two levels. Those two levels are High School football, and college football. The NFL has 32 teams that has a 46-man roster. The process to the NFL is short. Baseball has a big range of levels that a player must experience to get to the MLB. Those levels: High school, College (unless you're drafted out of High school), instructional ball, rookie ball, low A-ball, A-ball, high A-ball, AA-ball, and AAA-ball. All that, with the 30 groups and just 25-man roster.Baseball can get rid of competitors much speedier than football can. It happens at each level of play.
Baseball is known as America’s national pastime, and has been played for over 100 years. Baseball can be a lot of fun, but is also extremely challenging to play, especially trying to hit a 90 mile per hour fastball. I am a very devoted baseball player myself, and over the years I have learned numerous key things about the game. Baseball does not only require physical strength to hit and throw the ball, but it also requires a great mindset, such as, mental preparedness, concentration, and a positive attitude.
During the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, Major League Baseball, much like the majority of other American institutions, was racially segregated. A color barrier was implemented during baseball’s infancy in order to separate people of different race to cater to the white American players. The color barrier was an unofficial “rule” that hindered those with dark skin from playing baseball for Major League teams. The color barrier was enforced by preventing any teams with a colored player from competing at the professional level. Many team owners, umpires, and players justified their opposition to allowing blacks to play by declaring that only whites could uphold the "gentlemanly character" of professional baseball. Others argued that excluding blacks would prevent future racial resentment between the ethnicities, as players of different races would be competing for the same job opportunities.
Baseball has always been America’s natural past time. Many fans love watching baseball but do not realize how hard it is to prepare for a season. Most fans think the players just show up on the first day. I think this belief is completely false. I feel that preparing for a baseball season requires much preparation. The preparation I use includes working on my swing, working out, and studying other people’s ideas on hitting. These steps are necessary for me to have a successful season. These steps have proven to be a valuable aid in helping me to prepare for the season. I believe these steps are the basic steps to becoming a great baseball player.
Baseball is a unique sport in many different ways. It is the only major competitive sport that has no time limit. The success of a player is determined on how well he can play as an individual and how well the team plays along with him. There are many rules that determine the success of a player’s performance. A baseball game is played with two teams and each team is permitted 25 players per team; however this is only true for professional teams. There are three parts to baseball: offense, pitching, and defense.
In my life I have played baseball with more people, played in more states, and played on more fields than there are minutes in a day. That’s a lot of baseball. This sport means more than just playing a game. Throughout this sport I have had to perform in tough situations and I have had to come up clutch in key situations. I have had to pick everyone’s head up and become the leader when we needed it and more than anything I have had to watch my team and self fail. Baseball is more than just hitting a ball with a bat and outscoring the other team. This sport makes you learn key life skills such as teamwork, failure and success, confidence, performing in clutch situation, and most of all taught me to always keep my head up.
The announcer began announcing our team to start the introduction for the game. Since I was the lead-off batter, my name was echoed over the park first. It was at this time that the feeling elevated; the feeling that makes every baseball field so special. As my teammates yelled for me, while I ran to the nearest baseline and faced the crowd, the feeling gave me goose bumps and raised the hairs on the back of my neck. The feeling is so amazing that it will keep me playing baseball for as long as possible because it makes my love for the sport that much more. I can't even begin to explain the complex feeling I get when I walk on a baseball field, but that feeling will always be cherished and hopefully when I pass on my love of baseball to others, they will too understand what that special diamond makes me feel like.
Growing up, I have always had a passion for baseball. To me, it is much more than just a sport. There have been times when it has acted as an escape from many problems in my life, as I feel that when I am on the diamond, nothing can hurt me. I am aware that many people feel this way about the sport they love, but sadly their careers often come to an abrupt end due to injury. I have a personal connection to this experience.
In discussions of Has Baseball Lost Its Cool? The controversial topic is baseball has become boring. Since, society is changing it is changing how sports are being played. Baseball is too slow some people say while others like it just the way it is. Networks worry their TV ratings will go down, but if you are a true fan then you appreciate the little things in the game.
While basketball and baseball are two different sports these two sports play different with their height and weight can significantly influence success in sport depending on how the design of the sport is linked to factors that are height biased due to physics and biology. Height can be both helpful. Some taller people have more bone mass, they will generally be slightly weaker than shorter people in the same class. The difference is made up in part by their longer arms,
