lol @ anyone sitting there saying they can't watch hockey for more than ten minutes and defending baseball as well baseball is the most unwatchable sport there is I never said is a watchable sports. I said that it requires the most skill, but that doesn't mean it's fun to watch. For me, as a baseball player myself, I love watching baseball. But I can understand people who don't.

Sewing requires a lot of skill too, let's just make that a sport as well Ole Big Pun lookin motherfucker You tried hitting a baseball that can drop, curve, rise, change speed, change positions etc... and you only have .4 seconds to react to. Good luck oh word? you're really trying to compare difficulty here? You try learning to skate, taking bodychecks without falling on your ass, delivering bodychecks without falling on your ass, keeping your head up while you stick handle a puck so you don't get your head taken off, and most of all, try having a fist fight on skates. your average guy can go out on the baseball field and swing three times and miss without looking like a complete dumbass. your average guy can't go out onto an ice rink without falling on his ass every 5 seconds.

Because swinging the bat is all that baseball amounts to. That is like saying that shooting a puck is all that hockey is.

If you do well 33% of the time in baseball your the man. Basketball if you shoot 33% your fired.

You could learn how to skate very quickly, but to be able to play baseball you would have to have started at a young age.

I've played baseball and basketball my entire life, and there's no question that baseball takes so much more work to learn. There are so many little things in baseball that you HAVE to know in order to be good at it. Swinging a bat is very hard, but it means nothing if you can't do all the other things baseball requires.
