Who ACTUALLY cares what requires more skill? I mean, I'm sure chess requires much more skill than hitting a baseball, doesn't make it interesting, or all round a better sport. 
 
Infact, for all the 'skill,' involved in baseball, it is one muther-fucking BORING-ASS game. 
It's so slow and shitty. Watching a bunch of fat-asses swing at a ball. Yay. 
 
Just as bad as cricket. 
 
Every other sport that has been mentioned on this thread, in my opinion (And I'm sure most others), is more interesting to watch than baseball.

 that's what I meant in my original comment, I've watched baseball a couple of times and I have to conclude that it is not a good sport to watch. 
they stand around for about 10 minutes, hit a ball, some guy runs around, then they stand around for another 10 minutes, etc.
 
To me the most interesting bit was when the pitcher hit a low flying bird  biggrin:

		Baseball is good for sitting it the sun and drinking a beer while you watch kids play.  City league softball is more fun to watch than pro baseball.  Other than that, I have no use for it. 
 
Soccor is pretty flippin worthless to watch too.  This too is more fun to watch kids play. 
 
Skill required for each?  Who cares?  It takes a real talent to play any sport at the professional level, but it doesnt make the game any more interesting to watch. 
 
Personally, if its not football (the real kind) or auto racing, I dont watch it, unless it has hot chicks playing.  Maybe a little college hoops, but thats about it.

 your just another poor soul who doesnt understand the beauty of the game. all of you ppl just look at baseball and see it at face value. in truth, baseball is like well made sandwich. from the outside, it looks like bread to most ppl. boring. but on the inside, it has many different layers and ingredients which other sports simply dont have. if you are not a true fan or have minimal knowledge of it, you will never understand the charm, mystique and the art. i , myself, dont  hate any sport. i grew up playing baseball, soccer, basketball, ice and roller hockey, football , hell ive even played a bit of lacrosse. in summation, it is easy to tell who here have actually competed in sports , and those whom probably either sat on the bench , or never played in organized athletics. anyone who has competed in baseball  knows (i hope) why the game is so great. it will always have its naysayers, which i enjoy honestly. each time i hear or see the negative comments about the sport i love, i chuckle to myself  ...just another poor soul who doesnt understand...

		The most physically demanding sport is Soccer, followed by Motocross. 
 
SnoCross is the best sport to watch, ever. Its like Motocross, except on snow, with snomobiles. Same size jumps even. And, they crash all the time. Ever seen a guy land a 500lb sled on somebodies head? Hehe... most entertaining. 
 
MX is badass.  
 
All others are boring to watch.  
Just go buy a quad or dirtbike and you'll see what I mean.

I'd like to see this shit. 
 
Then I'd like too see the person who decided this, hit a fucking cricket ball for six, bowled spin by Shane Warne. 
 
Who ACTUALLY cares what requires more skill? I mean, I'm sure chess requires much more skill than hitting a baseball, doesn't make it interesting, or all round a better sport. 
 
Infact, for all the 'skill,' involved in baseball, it is one muther-fucking BORING-ASS game. 
It's so slow and shitty. Watching a bunch of fat-asses swing at a ball. Yay. 
 
Just as bad as cricket. 
 
Every other sport that has been mentioned on this thread, in my opinion (And I'm sure most others), is more interesting to watch than baseball.

 your just another poor soul who doesnt understand the beauty of the game. all of you ppl just look at baseball and see it at face value. in truth, baseball is like well made sandwich. from the outside, it looks like bread to most ppl. boring. but on the inside, it has many different layers and ingredients which other sports simply dont have. if you are not a true fan or have minimal knowledge of it, you will never understand the charm, mystique and the art. i , myself, dont  hate any sport. i grew up playing baseball, soccer, basketball, ice and roller hockey, football , hell ive even played a bit of lacrosse. in summation, it is easy to tell who here have actually competed in sports , and those whom probably either sat on the bench , or never played in organized athletics. anyone who has competed in baseball  knows (i hope) why the game is so great. it will always have its naysayers, which i enjoy honestly. each time i hear or see the negative comments about the sport i love, i chuckle to myself  ...just another poor soul who doesnt understand...

 What's to understand? The game sucks ass. Get over it.
 
I don't know what the fuck you're babbling on about with zee whole "underlying game" tripe......To me you just look like you're grabbing at straws. Keep trying though, plz.
