Adult Baseball League

Well that's what Travis was saying so.....

Most of baseball is sitting on your ass or standing and waiting for the ball to come to you. It definitely takes skill, but it's a lazy sport.

Yeah, trying to cover 100 feet to catch a ball, having to react instantly to a ball coming off the bat of someone 90 feet away from you, and sprinting 180 feet around the basepath is definitely lazy .

While I understand what you're trying to say Lee, Travis didn't exactly make the same point as you. Yes, you aren't moving every second, but it's not like any out of shape person can come play. In fact, 9 times out of 10 the only out of shape player on the baseball field is the pitcher, and even that has its own little quirks.

I know dude, I used to play baseball too. That's why I quit and stuck with soccer. You have to be in good shape to play almost every sport competitively, that doesn't mean you're going to work your body that hard.

Our softball league was very competitive (ie running as hard as possible on the bases, fielding balls, etc.), and I wouldn't be tired at all after playing 3 games in a row. These came after a day at work in construction! ha ha. I am also TERRIBLY out of shape when compared with my soccer / physical training days (playing in Germany, etc.). After each and every soccer game I'd be bruised up, cut up, and ready to pass out from tiredness.

I'm not necessarily taking anything away from baseball, it's definitely a difficult sport to be good at, but even baseball players don't deny that most of the time you're standing around or sitting waiting for your turn to bat. Just watch Soriano in the outfield if you ever go to Nats games (if he's still even with them now). He literally looks like he's a) bored out of his face or b) sleeping on the job until the off chance that he gets a ball hit his way.
