Of the spring sports a kid could be playing in HS, on the mens side, i'd list it:
1. Lacrosse
2. Soccer
3. Track
4. Baseball
Unless you are the pitcher, there is just too much standing around in baseball. And pitchers get 4 days off between starts. Has anyone ever done a study on how much actual action is in a 3 hour major league game? I'll bet it's under 10 minutes.
Thanks for listening.

Yeah, yeah, and baseball players are fat, too, right?
It's pretty well known that major league pitching is generally in the 80 to 100 mph range. How fast do you think they throw the ball to each other? The truth is, an average person cannot even catch a ball thrown by a major league infielder. Forget about sliding and baserunning collisions, if a baseball hits you in the head, you're going down.
