gonzalesna 0 #27 October 13, 2011 I grew up playing baseball starting around age 5. Once I hit about 10 years old, I started playing hockey. After my second year of hockey, I lost interest in baseball... too much standing around. I've played hockey consistently from age 10 through age 23 until I moved to Florida, followed by Japan, followed by North Carolina. Last January, I got a chance to go play a pick-up game when I was up in Michigan and HOLY CRAP! I was out of shape BAD. I remember when I was playing in a men's league in California at age 22, I could sprint non-stop for about 4-5 minutes on the ice. Here I was after just a few years and I was gasping for breath after 30 seconds.Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gonzalesna 0 #28 October 13, 2011 QuoteQuotePlayers are constantly in motion during games No, they're not. A player who gets lots of ice may get 25 minutes of play. Most get less. I'm not saying they are not in great shape, but they dont have the stamina soccer players have. They need to have strong burst capability, and then they come off the ice for 2-3 minutes. Hockey players typically sprint for 45 seconds to a minute and a half, then take a 2 minute break. From what I've watched from soccer, they don't come off the field as often and they do require sprint burst capability, but much of their movement is spent walking or jogging lightly when another teammate has the ball. There's a lot more standing around than what you see on tv because the camera's almost always pointed at the person with the ball. They share very similar aspects, in which it's sprint your ass off and then take a little break. The location they take the break is what varies.Some people refrain from beating a dead horse.

ryoder 1,400 #29 October 13, 2011 QuoteBaseball is for the guys who can't play a real sport. I mean, they get so many chances just to hit the ball, and then half the time they only have to do a little jog over to a base. What kind of fitness do you need to do that?

mrubin 0 #30 October 13, 2011 Baseball players are a lot more athletic than most people give them credit for. Games last about 3 hours and are played just about every day for a 6 month season. Running, sliding, hitting, and throwing all take their toll on the body. All that being said, there are some baseball players that are not in peak physical condition and I think that tips the scale (no pun intended) towards hockey."I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 259 #31 October 13, 2011 QuoteNow, swimmers on the other hand, they're yummy with those broad shoulders, trim waists and lean, bulging muscles. Eh, swimmers are okay, but they can't really compare with an NHL stud... err player in his under armour. Ms Conduct explains it nicely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All that being said, there are some baseball players that are not in peak physical condition and I think that tips the scale (no pun intended) towards hockey. In most sports, the star player is the one that can run the fastest, control the puck/ball/etc. the best, and puts lots of points on the board. In baseball, it's the fat kid who can hit the ball over the fence, such as David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox.Some people refrain from beating a dead horse.

SivaGanesha 2 #44 October 13, 2011 QuoteHow can you possibly think baseball players are more physically fit than hockey players? Generally I'd agree with you but one comment--baseball players are, in theory, supposed to be able to slide--and on a surface that isn't especially designed for sliding. I'm not sure whether all baseball players really CAN slide, but doing it well certainly seems like a difficult athetic skill with no equivalent in hockey. Baseball players slide on the hard dirt; hockey players have a zamboni machine to smooth over even the slightest imperfections in the ice every 20 minutes."It's hard to have fun at 4-way unless your whole team gets down to the ground safely to do it again!"--Northern California Skydiving League re USPA Safety Day, March 8, 2014 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanuckInUSA 0 #47 October 14, 2011 Quote Quote Hockey. No time outs. . . . Only 1time out. Dude, what? He is actually dead wrong with the time outs ... at least at the NHL level. For those who have gone to a live NHL game they will see tons and tons of time outs every period. For those who only get to watch the games on TV all they see is TV commercials. Hmmm ... TV commercials ... time outs ... get it? The NHL has tons of time outs every time they stop the game to allow the TV sponsors to tell their audience they need to buy stuff. It's no different than football, baseball and basketball. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
