My take on this is different. Relatively speaking, it is NOT that hard.
Being 18 and shipped off to World War II is hard. Living in extreme poverty is hard. Living during the Great Depression was hard.

hey @3and2Fastball, the “incredibly hard” line is from Moneyball, and he certainly wasn’t suggesting playing 1st base was like shipping off to war. He means it’s harder than it looks, which I think you’re saying, too.
