Honestly, as a baseball coach from time to time I have to consul parents of youths that maybe, just maybe, their child was meant to play soccer.

One mom went into a deep depression. One dad became despondant and later suicidal.

Almost anybody can kick a soccer ball, but few can hit a good fastball.

Yes, I am sure between standing between pitches, standing around between pitchers, sitting during the middle of the inning, sitting while you wait for the other 8 people to hit, there is some skill in baseball.

What pisses me off is that soccer fans don't flame baseball threads, but folks like you ALWAYS have to come here and pee in the cornflakes. You don't like soccer. Fine, then don't watch it.

Start a baseball thread. Report back with the # of posters you attract.

PS - one side effect of baseball appears to be poor spelling.

Yes, but kicking it in the right direction is what counts.

Hmmm...I thought it was breaking pitches that caused problems for most.

With regard to kicking a soccer ball, there’s a lot more to the game than that. I can kick a soccer ball, but could never play soccer. Not many folks can use their head—literally—to accurately pass a ball to a teammate.
