Why Baseball is more then a game to me.,

Baseball is one of the things in my life that I can say I'm passionate about. It's not like most sports, It takes more then being an athlete alone to be a great baseball player. It's not like football where the stronger man wins, or like basketball where the taller man wins. Baseball is a game where your physical measurements don't always reflect a players game. To be a good baseball player it takes hard work, patients, determination, hart, a love for the game and be a team player. These requirements not only make great baseball players but they make great human beings. This "game" sets young men up to become successful young men who contribute to the can community. I'm not saying every great ballplayer becomes a success but most have all the trait needed to. When I play baseball I feel a part of something. When I'm pitching even though it's technically one on one, I am at ease knowing I have 8 teammates out on the field with me cheering me on. I don't collapse under the weight of any game because my other 8 teammates are there to help me carry that weight. Baseball isn't about winning or loosing it's about supporting your teammates, and never giving up even when the odds are against you. Baseball is about playing for someone other then yourself. And that's why I think this sport is so much more then just a game.,
