It's going to come pretty damn close to you though with 5 guys on the infield. Even outfielders don't need stamina. They do have to be fit though for sprints or diving for a ball.

 

5 guys in the infield aren't gonna stop a pop fly for you if it's far away....

 

Blockey, do you play baseball?

 

You don't realize how hard it is until you play it...

 

I know it's hard to play because you need skill. I already admitted that. I said its not a real sport because you don't need to be athletic.

Azarah, my dad made me play from about 3-10 years old even though I told him I didn't want too. I've played before and it wasn't that hard for me. I'm not saying I could still compete with people my age who've been playing since childhood, just that I have actually played before.

 

Baseball takes athleticism. I wanna see you go out there and turn a bang-bang double play from shortstop.

 

If the pop fly is high enough that it's actually hard to catch then you've hot quite some time to get there. Again, doesn't require athleticism.

 

It takes no athleticism. You don't need stamina, and you don't need straight-up speed unless you're a base hitter or an outfielder. That's my argument. I never said it was an easy sport.

 

Try to backhand field a ball at short and fire to first and tell me it doesn't take athleticism.

 

Sounds pretty simple. I can catch very well and I can throw a ball accurately. That's not hard at all.

 

I've never seen people debating on the sportiness of baseball.

Let's talk about how cheerleading isn't a sport, instead.

Let's stop arguing.. 

 

So your telling me people like Derek jeter, Ryan Braun,

 

The sky is the limit

 

And other major league players aren't athletic?
