Hey baseball players take more steroids than anybody so they have got to be athletic then right???

Roger Clemens is said to have one of the toughest workouts EVER by any athlete. He's an INCREDIBLE athlete and some of those diving, leaping and running catches they make are spectacular. Anybody see Rowand from the Phillies run full bore into a steel fence and NOT drop the ball despite breaking his nose and facial bones??? INCREDIBLE!!!!!

I love baseball, specifically the Phillies.

those guys are fast and they can crank a ball over 400ft..thats not easy to do when the ball is first coming at you at 80+ MPH......go into the fast pitch at the batting range and lets see how you do!

Baesball is a highlight sport its good for a few highlights on sportscenter and thats about it. You don't really have to be in good shape to play most positions. Even Wells pitched a perfect game with a hangover.

It's like watching "piant dry"

Are you kidding me,man that stinks you couldnt try to make an effort to see all that goes on in a game,strategy,hustle,skill,its like every pitch is a shot on net,or a touchdown pass attempt,or a drive through the lane,if you ever gave it a chance,and I mean actually go to a MLB game on a nice warm night to an outdoor park,you just might be surprised!

Baseball games are an awesome time...get yourself a beer and a foot long hot dog and enjoy the game with some buddies. I play ball and I have to say on all the teams I've been on I can't think of very many guys with guts. Even the pitchers who did have guts seemed to cut them off from all their distance running. Baseball is a tough sport to play...hitting consistently basically determines if you move up or have your career ended. All the guys in the Big Leagues are freak athletes for the most part. After playing the game and then seeing someone like Pujols hit all those jacks, you really understand how ridiculous he is.

baseball is more skill and hand eye coordination.. its all repatition and muscles memory...those guys take over 1,000 swings a day in the cages... with football u dont just tackle a dummy 1000 times a day you workout get big and strong and use ur natural ability on the field.. football and basketball take more natural ability and either ur good or ur not..baseball u have to develop that coordination and it doesnt require as much raw talent.. of course not considering those pitchers who can just gas a ball at 100 mph.. look at micheal jordan greatest athlete of all time tried to play baseball and failed.. im just sayin baseball u have to be a good athlete (not a tremendous athlete like f ball or basketball) but with baseball u also have to develop alot more skills and coordination than those sports

I disagree that football or basketball take more natural ability....size might be more meaningful for those sports, but you just can't really compare them. Each player has worked to perfect the skills they need for their sport, and in the case of baseball, I definitely think you need to have some natural ability to hit a ball. Some people just can't do it no matter how many swings they take. One of the guys on my team goes to the cage almost every day for extra work and he still sucks. Most people do not take 1,000 swings a day...when i go to the cage i might take 100-200 swings. Its not quantity, its quality. I think all professional athletes are tremendous athletes...that's why they get paid the BIG BUCKS.

I was originally a long distance runner and now I lift to get big. Something about team sports always makes me uneasy no matter how much I love a couple of them.
