[quote=Anonymous]My rule loving "thinker" kid LOVES baseball. He likes the set rules and methodical nature of it and also the math of it (anticipating where the ball is going to go based off angles, force, etc) My BIL was really into baseball and he always calls it "the thinking man's sport." I tend to agree. You also do not need to be huge or tall or the fastest kid on the block to be successful at baseball, especially as a kid. You can be a really accurate consistent hitter or have a wicked fastball and be as slow as dirt and still be successful and a valuable player in baseball. My fast paced, easily distracted, energetic kids thinks baseball is just OK, and prefers sports like swimming or soccer that are go go go. I agree that most kids don't have the patience anymore for a sport like baseball. They want the instant gratification and fast pace of soccer or if they are going for a slow sport with little action they want the social status of football.[/quote]
