Although I did laugh at what you said about Soccer and Basketball, according to you, the only "true" sport is football. Baseball isn't meant to be a contact sport, but it does happen such as railroading the catcher or breaking up a double play. And if you're going to call baseball players wussies, you should be calling football players wussies for wearing pads then. You should be a rugby fan since it's football without such extensive padding.

Hey WhiteSoxFan,
I agree with you. Hitting a baseball for a home run requires more hand-eye coordination than any other activity in any sport. Plus, strength. Also, to be a great player, you need '5 skills': running, hitting hard & often, throwing, fielding...unlike the other sports mentioned where just 1 or 2 of these may be enough. And, HangedMan wouldn't think baseball players were wussies if he got hit broadside with a 100 mph fastball from Joba Chamberlain. Problem with most baseball haters is that the game's too cerebral for them.

COLORADO ROCKIES!!!

Coors Field is AWESOME -- not a bad seat in the house.

But I grew up with the Reds, and so when the two play ... I cheered for Ken Griffey Jr while wearing my Rockies shirt. My dad threw peanuts at me. :)
