Baseball is like all other sports. There are those who like it and those who do not. I dislike soccer but it is the most popular sport in the world. (Why do more people in the world play soccer than any other sport? Because it is too boring to watch)
SO IS BASEBALL. Clearly Jeff is not keen enough to understand the subtleties of baseball...which REALLY REALLY makes me want to challenge him to put together a Wiffle Ball team for the next herf.
Since Jeff wants the bait, here is some for him to chew upon:
1) Sport - Defined by the simultaneous physical aspects of offense and defense. Tennis and volleyball are pure sports under this definition since each volley is both offense and defense with physical aspects. Also, football, baseball, soccer, hockey and other such traditional team sports fit this category. Is ping pong as great a sport as football...probably not but it fits the definition. Are soccer players in better physical condition than baseball players...likely so but who cares, it is still boring to watch;
SO IS BASEBALL....AND IT'S BORING TO PLAY AS WELL
2) Game/Test - Defined by an activity wherein the competitor tries to do something that can be scored in comparison to other players engaging in the same activity. Golf is essentially golfer versus the course. If someone does the course better than me then they win but I did not influence their outcome nor did they influence mine. Bowling also fits this category. Track and Field does too...I can run faster than Jeff but I cannot trip him out of the gate;
3) Competition - Defined by engaging in activities which are judged by others. Figure skating, gymnastics and all of the other stuff that requires a panel of experts to tell how you did.
4) YOU FORGOT PASS TIME- THINGS LIKE DRINKING ICED TEA, SITTING ON THE PORCH, WATCHING GRASS GROW, WATCHING BASEBALL, PLAYING BASEBALL.
This debate has raged on for years and years. The debate is tiresome.
SO IS BASEBALL So, Jeff, what will it be? Are you going to choose to debate these points with meaningless words
NO, I USED MEANINGFUL WORDS, YOU SHOULD TRY IT or are you going to man up and accept my challenge to a Wiffle Herf? Two on Two. I will put someone in orange and black and you put someone in black and gold. Do you swing a bat like a girl, Jeff?
Do you? Will my chin music wiffle curve put you on your ass? To even it up, I will gladly hit the links with you or suit up for some flag football.
SURE! ARE YOU SOME KIND OF WIFFLE BALL/TIDDLY WINKS GURU? HERE'S THE BET ON THE GOLF COURSE....WE PLAY THE FIRST HOLE FOR 10 CENTS AND DOUBLE IT EVERY HOLE UNTIL YOU QUIT AND ADMIT THAT BASEBALL ISN'T A SPORT........THIS WILL TEST WHETHER OR NOT I CAN INFLUENCE YOUR OUTCOME 
What's it going to be, Jeff? Words or action? Words or action? :laugh:
NICE! IF I KNEW I WERE BEATEN IN A BATTLE OF WHITS I WOULD TAKE IT TO ANOTHER COMPETITION TOO.....WELL DONE!
