Baseball pants… Need I say more?
America’s favorite pastime, one of the catchiest songs, the need for overpriced beer, the reason jerseys are so expensive… All of these things have one thing in common: baseball. From April to October, baseball fans come out of the woodworks to take over the sports world. The (most times) friendly rivalry between teams (and the overall knowledge that the two teams that dominate are the Yankees and Red Sox) brings electric energy that has everyone involved. But what makes baseball better than other sports in girls’ eyes?
The baseball pants
Ladies, you know what I’m talking about. Baseball pants are basically the male equivalent to leggings.
They can think on their feet
Have you ever seen a great double or even triple play? Baseball players need to be able to be ready for anything.
They have good reflexes
With some balls coming at you at over 100 miles per hour, their reflexes have to be razor-sharp which means they’ll be able to protect you if needed.
They can catch anything thrown at them (literally)
Sometimes a ball comes from right field to second base, other times a ball can from second to home… Baseball players have to be prepared to deal with whatever situation is right in front of them, even if it’s not ideal.
They actually know how to work with other people
The game rests between nine players. For a chance to win the game, all nine players have to work together somehow. If they’re not working together, you can kiss the game goodbye. Baseball players can work well with others which means that they’re more likely to work well with you.
They’re a great support system
Have you ever seen a baseball team celebrate together? It consists of running, jumping, hugging… Even with a small accomplishment, they all get excited for each other.
They can get competitive
A relationship needs a little spice and most times that comes in the form of being competitive with one another. With a baseball player, be prepared for some great competition in a lot of areas in your life.
They take care of themselves
In order to be a great baseball player, you have to take care of your body. This may mean healthy eating, working out, etc. Baseball players have to do it all which also means their discipline is through the roof.
Although other sports are great, too, there is just something about baseball that tugs on girls’ heartstrings… And now that we’re well into baseball season, you can enjoy these little things that make baseball players the ones that steal all the hearts.
