You didn’t have to choose the oldest, fattest baseball player. I would guess the vast majority of MLB baseball players couldn’t do that, at least at that height or with any type of aiming accuracy or power. If your point was baseball players can’t do things soccer players can, congratulations?

My guess is you couldn’t find a professional soccer player who could throw a baseball 95 MPH, let alone with accuracy and movement, not even the very best soccer players in the world. In fact, I’d guess most professional soccer players would even struggle to break 60 MPH throwing it as hard as they can. Likewise, they’d look like 4 year old kids swinging the bat trying to hit 95 or a major league breaking ball.

What does that say about their athleticism or hand-eye coordination or arm strength? I don’t know. It means each class of athlete is capable of doing things the other class couldn’t do with anywhere near the same type of proficiency.

IMO Hugo Sanchez still has 3 or 4 of the top 10 bicycle kick goals... including the top one on the list.

Ronaldo's shot just kind of plopped in... some of Sanchez's kicks were met directly at the right height and with enough angular momentum to maximize their velocity.

Just like soccer is like living in a small third world island country and running from one end to another to go play hacky sack with your girlfriend / third cousin.

Baseball is a game not a sport since it doesnt exert the needed energy to qualify as a sport.

Moving the goal posts to fit your narrative. But that’s fine. Whatever.

So if fat which is part of your argument, is not a stereotype, what percentage of MLB players do you think are Bartolo Colon obese? 1%? Less? Probably less than the percentage of professional soccer players who actually and literally beat dicks. So if fat is not a stereotype for baseball, then dickbeating isn’t a stereotype for soccer either.

So have it your way. Baseball has fat people. Soccer has dickbeaters. You win.

This is a retarded argument. The intuitive definition of a "Sport" is a competitive activity in which physical skill plays an integral part in performance. Baseball challenges every core athletic trait aside from stamina (thus the dumbass comparison to darts and bowling, which don't challenge any physical skill aside from light throwing). I would also argue that basketball doesn't really challenge stamina all that much, either. Stamina sports are shit like triathlons and marathons. Basketball is a decent cardio workout, but nothing really that challenging. Us who played all these sports at an organized level keep telling you, baseball>basketball and football in difficulty and physical demand. And the mental demand is another universe compared to those two sports (aside from the QB position).

Time for a nail in the coffin from perhaps the greatest soccer mind to ever live and a top 5 all-time player, who actually played both sports at a high level (one much higher than the other obviously):


"Playing baseball I learned many details that were useful to football, when you determine the flight of the pitch and judging it as a catcher without a perfect view. That sharpened one of my strengths as a footballer, having a wider field of vision. I learned to think ahead. It has many parallels with football: speed, acceleration, adaptation, balance, spatial awareness, anticipation, and more."

- Johan Cruyff

I'll echo this point. Playing baseball at an early age develops pretty much every useful athletic skill there is, along with refining your hand-eye coordination, reaction time, analytical thinking, and spatial awareness, that it's much easier to transition to other sports later on. Basketball and football came easy. Yet the kids who played nothing but basketball (and we had some good young players at my school who played in top SoCal AAU leagues) looked like fuckin' spastics when we played baseball at P.E. or whatever.

Cherry picking the specialized fat players like Colon and a few over-the-hill DHs (fat DHs are quickly going extinct) is all they have. The majority of baseball players certainly have the athleticism to pull off a Bicycle Kick (they likely don't have the skill, since, you know, they don't play fuckin' soccer, though Brett Lawrie could probably easily pull one off in a practice setting). In any event, yeah:

Speaking out of your ass. Pitchers are athletes, but when is the last time you seen a pitcher sprint over 20 mph, lateral jump 10 feet to rob a 110 mph line drive, sprint over 20 mph to chase down a 150 foot high fly ball over 100 feet away in under 4 seconds? Yeah, this guy is "fat" and not an "athlete."

This is probably the main issue with baseball, in that television is poor at illustrating what's actually happening. To a casual viewer, it looks like Abreu swung at a bad pitch and just chased, but from a right handed pitcher (even more so with Kluber's arm slotting and cross step) to a right handed batter that pitch is looking like a fastball all the way until the last 5 feet where it breaks. It's almost impossible to lay off that pitch, since batting is not about seeing the pitch all in the way into homeplate (if you tried to hit like that, you'd whiff/foul off every time) but gauging the trajectory of the ball from the pitcher's point of release and the ball's spin characteristics (bad pitchers don't have tight spins on sliders, curves, etc so the pitch isn't disguised and hitters know to lay off). Abreu was already far past the commitment window and just tried to foul it off with a late swing adjustment as he saw the ball break across homeplate.

Show me the soccer player curving a baseball with his foot into a area not much larger than a 20" tv? You do realize that a soccerball essentially being a balloon with a 10" diameter makes it much easier to curve due to the Magnus Effect (lower the density, the greater the Magnus Effect). Furthermore, go try and "bend a soccer ball like beckham" by throwing it. Won't happen. This is yet another example of soccer fans trying to equate two completely different circumstances.

And to have a good major league curveball, you need to generate a spin rate of at least 2500rpm. If you tried that, your UCL would snap. The leg muscles and tendons are nowhere near as fragile, allowing for much easier power generation.
