Is Baseball the Greatest Game?

Is Baseball the Greatest Game?

no doubt!!! son plays baseball and football but baseball is and always will be the best!!!

Is there any other GAME ????

I dunno' guys...it's kinda' neck and neck...basball and parcheesi...Milton Bradley offers both...

when the greatest hitter that played the game,failed 6 out of ten times and has a statue in cooperstown. it is by far the greatest game.

Football is the greatest game. Baseball is too significant to be viewed simply as a game.

I love all three (football, basketball, baseball). I played all three. I just happened to be better at baseball. Now my kids are the same in baseball and softball.

But there's something special about the roar of the crowd and the traditions of high school and college football and basketball. I watched the opening of the Clemson-FSU broadcast just to see the Clemson players rub the rock and come down the hill to the roar of the crowd. I didn't go to Clemson. I just knew what the opening moments would be like.

I enjoy sports in general, but NOTHING matches baseball. Even UK basketball takes a backseat to a good baseball game for me!

DUH!!!!!!

Life's a game, Baseball is serious.

this question needs no answer.........but yea it is

Yes.
Even on a bad day,..its still great!

Its the greatest because the players wear those nice uniforms, sometimes with their names, but you can always see their faces. They play close to the seats, but you can't really touch them. They play everyday and many nights. They perform individually and like a team.
You can have a great player, but he can't bat 27 times in a game, like a running back carries 27 times or a power forward scores 27 points. Yet that great player can still drive in all the runs or score all the runs.
Your best pitcher can't pitch everyday and your best defender can't be in on every play, but they can still carry the team when they get the chance. The game ends when its over, no clock can ever decide a game. You can't play the game of your life and then have it decided by some kicker with 3 seconds left or on a jumper with time running out.
However a pinch hitter can come off the bench and hit a walk off homer, but only because its his teams last turn at bat.
They can play 2 games in one day while most sports can't play 2 a week, and its still a grind.
One of my favorite games ever was Red Sox-Yankees back around '79. Yanks up 11-1 in the bottom of the 9th. One out and the sox score 11 straight to win 12-11. I am sure many can remember a similar situation. If the clock were running out, could that ever have happened?

Football brings the animal out in us, baseball brings out our mind and soul.

I'll second that! Very nice!!

It seems most multi-sport athletes I know (kids and dads) identify baseball as their favorite sport. Why is that?

Any day you spend playing baseball or coaching the next generation of baseball players does not count toward your age.

Coachric is clearly young at heart.

After stating that maxim Line Drive I'd like to share a recent photo of Coachric with you...he's held up well through the years don't you think?

Woody, you've been in mom's cupboards again. That is me with my triple strength corset on. If it pops, I just roll away.
