Baseball vs Football...

[Guest BALLPLAYER]

Which is the hardest to excel in?

[Ty Cobb]

Baseball. You can get by in football with God given talent. (size, speed) These talents will not help you hit a baseball.

[grandslam]

Well said!

[SilsbeeD]

well when you have god given talents such as size and all that...you can also get god given talents for baseball such as having great hand eye coordination or being able to throw a baseball 90 mph and you can never forget just being a athlete...i think their pretty even though. But if you made me pick one i would take football just because i like the sport better

Yeah I am with SilsbeeD on this one. You can't say God given talent makes you excel in football and not baseball. If you do not have good hand eye, you are not hitting, and some people learn it and some are blessed with it. Just like with football some have good size and speed, some have to hit the weights and the track harder to excel, so I ain''t buying that one. Both are tough, they both have their challenges. I like football better, so naturally I think that. I think you can make a easier living at playing baseball though.

There is nothing easy about 6 days a week ,150 game season.Nothing harder than hitting a baseball.God given talent isn't enough.For every guy that makes it there are 100's that had the talent but not enough of "it".If there was a minor league in football to develop players maybe you could say football was harder,lots of guys don't make it till after 6-8 years in the minors.That is after HS and college.

Its called a game, not work................shoot give me the chance to play 6 days a week 150 game season for that money.......................no brainer. I am not saying it doesnt take work to get there, but lets not make it seem tougher than it really is.

bigred the more you talk the more you show that you know nothing

[bigred75]

Your telling me I guess if I just just did this :pp baseball

then the people on there would say

:dr bigred75

[bigred75]

Now nowhere in my post did I say baseball was not difficult to play but hey its not brain surgery......................

[bigred75]

you know you are correct I am a blooming idiot because I do not see things your way.

[jdawg03]

you guys crack me up.....

I would say Baseball is the toughest because it is more of a skill game then football...i dont really know if there is anything harder than trying to put the bat on a 98 mph fastball

[KFDM COOP]

Agreed!

[bigred75]

Once again I think baseball is tough but so is football. Natural talent will take you far in both sports, but so will working hard.....I choose football because I like it better. And despite what people from Vidor think, play 10 years of football in the NFL and then play 10 years in the MLB. I guarantee your body will tell you which one is easier to make a living at.................................Like it or not its the truth.

In football, if the QB goes 3-10 he will probably get benched. In baseball if a hitter goes 3-10 he is in the Hall of Fame! any arguments

[baseballer17]

i would say baseball takes more skill and more reaction than anything, but football players go through a lot more to get where they are
