Baseball.......
I can't stand baseball! I went to go run at 7. I thought, I would run and watch House. It would keep me going. I got upstairs at 6:59:37 pm, turn on Fox and baseball is on. In the 10th inning! This totally messed up my run time. Who wants to watch baseball when you run? It surely does not motivate you to work out. It's the laziest sport out there. What qualifies baseball as a sport? Honestly! The only person on the team that has athletic ability is the pitcher. Maybe the catcher because he has to squat like he is dropping a load for 9 innings. You basically sit on the side line, chew gum or whatever is in their mouth, spit, and wait to head up to bat or stand in the outfield. Now hitting my require some ability, but honestly, how many times have we seen a high hitting baseball game? 33-17? That is a big fat no. For a game that has 9 innings (sometimes more) and only 3 outs per team, per inning, the game seems to take forever. My suggestion would be a play clock. There is no reason whatsoever for a pitcher to take 4 minutes to pitch. "Let's check the bases, chomp on gum, spit, look at the catcher, check the bases, throw to first for fun, check back to the catcher, chew gum even more, spit again, get your signal, then throw." What the heck?! Baseball would only be an hour and a half if we had a play clock! I just can't justify baseball as a sport. Lets break this down.
Football:
Depending on your position, you have to be athletic. Even the huge 300+lb defensive line players are more athletic then baseball players. Try pushing your own body weight against yourself. It's not that easy. You are either incredibly strong or a fast runner.
(Had to use the Hawkeyes!)
Basketball:
There should be no explanation here. You are running up and down and back and fourth. Normally non stop for minutes at a time. You better have amazing stamina.
(I picked this one because he is fiiiine)
Soccer/Futbol:
Are you kidding me? You want to talk about running. Have you seen a regulation soccer field? You have to have a Masters in Endurance. Plus soccer men are usually delicious!
(20 laps....I challenge most baseball players to that)
Golf:
(How can you not laugh?!)
Hockey:
Again, yet another sport where you sweat more than there is water in the rink. Have you ever tried to ice skate? My arse is still upset with me!
(Enough said)
Other sports more athletic than baseball:
Volleyball
Boxing
Swimming
Dodgeball
Literally every sport in the winter/summer Olympics...with the exception of....BASEBALL.
Game, set, match!

Per Coach Lammers, hitting a fastball off a major league pitcher is supposedly the hardest athletic task to do. I don't know if I agree with that, and now that I think about it, that's probably the only thing I ever remember Lammers actually saying. :)
Go Cubs.
you want to know an endurance sport, its having an a$$ that can handle a high school swim meet complete with j.v., diving and varsity. oh my aching "ample" on that hard wooden bench for 39 hours, the pain, the pain, ok it wasn't 39 hours but it sure felt like it, i really missed my comfy lazy boy (girl) and blankie. **my niece is quite the swimmer**- Go ANkeny!! they would have won i hear if they had divers. "D" had divers so they got to put all those points in the win column, since A didn't have any, all they got was a big 0 for points- eh no divers, no points.
oh on a side note i got a free tito jackson afro from sitting in the tropics, how nice that i got to share that with the partrons at the rock island brewery.
