Baseball is the most macho sport...other than possibly hockey.
No fights in football, you can't even hit hard anymore in the NFL or you'll draw a fine. Basketball isn't even in the arguement.

Dip, brawls, hitting batters with 95mph fastballs, hard slides, shit talking...what else could you ask for.

I have played baseball all my life, and the conditioning required for a pitcher is relentless. Football players practiced with us twice a week, and they couldn't keep up with us. However, we couldn't keep up with them in the weight room, but whatever. Its easy to take a tackle that you know is coming, but taking a fastball to the head...that takes a man.

Ok first I havent seen an actuall baseball "fight" in ages.... A bunch of grown men running to the mound and arguing is not a fight, sorry. And to argue the C. Crisp and Rays was a fight it wasnt, 2 small punches that barely grazed each guy.

Football has more fighting in it under the pile, or on every play. And I rather get hit with a 95 mph fastball than Ray Lewis when running full speed. And not all football hits you know are coming

162 games is a lot, and IMO is too much, if it was cut down to maybe 45 games I would be much more of a fan of baseball. The conditioning for a pitcher is tough and can really wear on the body, but not for any of the other players on the team, bc a player in baseball can go a hole game and possibly not even have a ball hit at him.

The one call at 3rd was really bad. Phillies got away with one there too.
