I'm a loyal baseball fan,but i think that the baseball season is to long.i think they should shorten it by at least half. what do you guys think? No keep it at 162 games

how am i a moron...it does not take alot to play baseball...i know i played before Maybe you're not giving yourself enough credit. Baseball requires a wider variety of skills than any other sport...hand/eye coordination, speed, arm strength for throwing, etc... they call it 5 tools

ok i played baseball before...it didnt take to much... Little league I'm guessing? Baseball takes a lot. Get to the higher levels where you have to hit fastballs that range anywhere from 90-100+ mph. Catch a line drive coming at you at 120+ mph from 90 ft. away. Throw a pitch at 90 mph. Have the durability to play out a 162 game season (possibly longer if you're in the playoffs). Have enough hand-eye coordination to hit a ball, especially a breaking pitch. Did you ever notice that Basketball and Football don't have minor leagues. They go straight from high school/college to the pro's. Baseball has varying levels of baseball because you have to be extremely good to play in the majors. So exactly what level did you play at? I've been in little league too. When you're only 8 years old, it really doesn't take a lot because coaches just want the kids to play and have fun. They usually don't allow you to bunt or steal. They don't call hit and runs or shift the fielders for certain situations (ie. double play).

Hey Brenda... Its alot harder then you think... I'm almost positive you can't hit a 90mph fastball or even get wood on it, that goes without saying all the other pitches like a curve, a knuckle and a forkball. And I also doubt you can catch a line drive or stop a grounder coming at you at the same speed
