    Stuff like this is what makes baseball the best team sport in the country. I played baseball all the way through Pee-Wee to college and have played both men's baseball and softball ever since. At 63 I pay for it more the next morning, especially in my right shoulder and elbow, but I won't stop playing until I can no longer make the throw from third to first. People who find baseball boring have never played the sport and have no appreciation whatsoever for just how difficult the sport is to master. It is far more difficult to master than either football OR basketball.
