who else doesnt think baseball is a sport? Heres why it isnt
-alot of the players are fat and out of shape
-alot of the players dip while playing the game (no other sport is that possible- and golf/ping pong arent sports so you cant use those as an example where you could)
-the game is basically hitting a ball (i'll get to that later), running (quite slowly i might add) about 90 feet, catching balls and throwing balls
-half the time somebody gets up to bat they get struck out and sit down untill next inning (real athletic huh?)
-baseball requires the least oxygen absorbtion in your lungs out of any other sport
now i know that hitting a fastball is supposed to be "the hardest thing in sports" or some shit, but you dont need to be athletic to do that so i dont really count it. i know its hard to do, i cant do it, but that doesnt make it a sport.
anyways, i dont think its a sport because, although it requires skill and talent, you dont have to be athletic at all to play (same goes for golf/ping pong)

you have never played baseball. i guarantee you that you will not even touch a 90mph fastball. any decent pitcher could throw a 90mph fastball then next pitch a 75mph curve and make you practically fall over swinging. lacrosse and baseball completely different

yeah, ok dude. try chasing a gapper running full speed to the outfield fence pick up the ball, pivot, and throw a strike to second simultaneously. and youre telling me that it requires no athletic ability? go die in a well.

I agree, I love basketball and football because in any 1 moment the tables can turn and momentum in basketball is huge. Baseball can be kind off exciting when somebody steals a base or something but its rare.

i'll admit it takes more athletic ability than i thought. I was wrong, maybe it is a sport, but i still think (and this, you wont change my opinion on) that it is pretty damn boring to watch. You have changed my opinion. It is a sport, but it is not the same type of sport as basketball, football, and all the other sports that are in constant action.
you guys are freekin in love with this shit, you get so defensive haha

It's considered a sport...okay
Ping Pong is considered a sport...okay
Bridge was almost considered a sport...okay
Now please, there are many sports that are not as physical as others, but since they are still considered sports, well don't fuck with their rank

theres so much more the baseball. You try hitting a pitch thrown 95mph and it breaks twice. You try throwing out jose reyes when he steals 2nd for the mets. Baseball isnt boring at all, its fucking crazy.
