Baseball is the Greatest Sport in the World

  I think baseball is the greatest sport in the world because anyone can play the sport. You can be big or small or tall or short it doesn’t matter. I also believe baseball is a very fun sport and has a lot of strategy to it. There are many rules but the basic ones are easy to follow. Baseball has been played for over a century and is played in many different countries. It is commonly played in America but other countries also play this sport.  People usually start this game at 3 to 4 years old but you can start whenever you want and it’s easy to get a hang of the sport.  In this sport you can also make a lot of new friends because there iss a lot of people who already play it. This sport is also very easy to learn because there are a lot of people who already know the game and there is also a lot of places to learn the game if you don’t know it. Also you can play baseball year round. There are also a lot of places that play year round.  Another reason why baseball is great is because there is a lot of games you can watch. There is also many video games and sports cards for this sport. This sport has a lot of memorabilia and you can either make a lot of money from this or you can become a collector of these items. Also this sport has been through the hardest times through American history. This sport has helped stop the segregation of the U.S. with the first African- American baseball player in Jackie Robinson. This game has been going on for a long time and has a lot of history behind it. This game is truly amazing and requires not only physical abilities but also mental abilities. You always have to pay attention and have a lot of concentration and also be able to run fast, hit the ball, catch and have a lot of other skills.  Baseball is also a great sport because it is very influential to everyone. It has been the source of American culture and will continue to be for many years if not forever. Baseball is also a great sport because anything can happen in the game because there is no time limit. There can never be a tie so it is always competitive. As you can see I think baseball is an amazing sport and it is a lot of fun. I hope you have or will experience this amazing game.
