A sport most people would say is boring but those people are people who don't know shit about it. This sport is America's Past Time because of what it has done for the nation. It has kept The United States united throughout time, just think of 9/11. After the "terrorist" attacks in 2001, Baseball's World Series brought the United States together in a time of struggle and pain.
Baseball is also the only fair sport there is. You have to pitch the baseball over home plate to get strikes which leads to getting outs to end an inning and eventually the game for nine innings or more in case of a tie leading to extra innings. The pitcher has to throw the Baseball over home plate it allows the opposing team to be able to hit the ball, if they can. You can't run out a clock like in other sports; you have to throw strikes in order to win.
It is also a very difficult game. Take a Baseball player and put him in any sport and he will compete. Take any other athlete and throw him a 95 mph (mile per-hour) fastball and he won't touch it.
Michael Jordan, greatest Basketball player of all time, retired from Basketball in his prime to play Baseball then decided not to continue because of how difficult this sport is.
"Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and still be considered a good performer," as said by Hall of Famer Ted Williams.
Other sports are great too but Baseball is G.O.A.T

A sport that most people reject these days, because it has nothing to do with lacrosse. Also, people say they hate people who play it because the sport is too "slow and boring."
The bitches don't realize professional lax gives you enough money to get passed taxes. On the other hand, if your a professional baseball player, you get enough money to buy 3 fucking countries.

America's pastime, and a sport that does actually involve effort, skill, determination, and fitness. For all those assholes that say "soccer" is the only sport that involves all of these traits, well fuck you. Just because you lawn fairies have never even tried the sport of baseball doesn't mean you can pretend you're to most athletic person on the planet. I'd like to see you outrun Alex Rodriguez. Beat David Ortiz in an arm wrestle. I dare you.
Naive soccer player: Hey, Mr. Baseball, your sport is retarded, and involves no skill.
Mr. Baseball: Suck my dick.

Baseball is the greatest sport in the world. It takes extreme concentration and you have to be patient.It is my personal favorite sport, and americas national pastime.A true baseball player would tell you that you will never have a bigger adrenaline ruch in your entire life, than the feeling you get when you hit a homerun, and i agree with that 100 percent. The game is often called boring, but dont listen to that, thats just what people what ADD say and cant stay focussed to play a great sport.
Baseball is the greatest sport ever.

A very difficult and amazing game, played by some of the greatest athletes in the world and if you think its boring youre retarded. This game is so difficult the failure rate is 7/10 times, if youre someone who doesnt like baseball and bashes it saying its easy then you obviously havent played or tried to pitch to buster posey, matt kemp, juan uribe, or andre ethier, or tried to hit a clayton kershaw 97 mph fastball. Do that well then say its easy.
Person 1: "Wow did you see that Kershaw struck out Howie Kendrick on 3 pitches!"
Person 2: "Yeah thats what happens when you throw 95 mph its baseball magic."

The best game ever created. A game that takes exceptional athleticism, exceptional knowledge of the game, and intelligence. The only sport in which you can succeed 30% of the time and be considered great. That in itself shows how difficult of a sport it is to play. Many people argue that hitting a baseball is the most difficult thing to do in all of sports. Now whether you disagree or agree, there is no question that hitting a 90+ MPH baseball is extremely difficult and takes a great amount of skill. Not to mention the ball can curve, cut, sink, slide, etc. Also, throwing a baseball is one of the most unnatural things that your body can do, and throwing it with great velocity is a very special thing that very few can do. The most difficult sport to play (except maybe for golf) by far. Anybody can pick up a basketball or a football and be decent at it without ever practicing, that does not apply in baseball. You either can play the game, or you can't. Bottomline: it is America's favorite pastime and always will be. It's more than just a game, it's a way of life.
Derek Jeter is one of the greatest hitters in baseball in recent memory.
