Were you a pitcher who played every 5th game or a catcher who has to work every half of a game. they are the hardest working. I truly believe if baseball was invented today, people would laugh.
I pitched and played third base. I played ball until I was 19 years old, we started in April and played into early October.
Oh and having some guy who out weighs you by 100 lbs try to take you out while covering third isn't much fun either.
