There is one more simple thing about baseball that makes a lotta people unable to play the sport. You can't be afraid of a hard baseball flying at your face at a hundred miles an hour lol. I know a lotta people that got hit in the head and became crappy players because they became afraid of the ball. I can definitely see how that happens. I've been hit in the head a bunch of times playing catch and i've been hit in the chin (extremely lucky I didn't shatter my jaw..) and neck while fielding. One time when I was stealing first to second the batter hit the ball and it cracked me right in the head. I was unconscious for a couple minutes. That sucked lol.
Thought of that when I reread your comment about a rubber puck flying at your padded hocky men...
BTW trying out for a team and quitting before you even play... doesn't count. I could try out for a hocky team if I wanted to. Doesn't mean I know all about playing hocky and what kinda talent it takes to play just because I tried out. It's not usually very hard to make a baseball team. Just not enough people that usually want to play.
