And yet no matter what yardstick I choose to use, you're going to claim it's wrong, and twist it around again. Why should I bother again?

Baseball: you don't move constantly, plays have long breaks between them, there's no contact except accidental or sliding into someone. There's no sustained aerobic activity, strength is important to many, but not essential for most positions, and the relative hand-eye coordination, while necessary, isn't that much different than many other sports due to the intermittent action.

Clear enough? Or should I keep rewording it?
