“The skill required to play hockey is unparalleled in sports.”

Yeah, right up there with hitting a curve ball on the inside corner lol There MIGHT be 10 people in the world who can do that in any given era.

To each their own. I know many have ZERO appreciation for baseball. None. Zip. Nada.

It’s the best game for sure. Baseball at the highest competitive level suffers visually in that when you play it really well it looks easy, and so when you fail at it, it looks like complete unskilled garbage. Most people have no idea what it takes to throw firmly and accurately to a target 90+ feet away, much less what a thrown baseball looks like at 95+ mph possibly coming at your neck.
