I'd have to go with baseball on this one.

by **Harrison** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 5:12 pm

Hockey, although quite gay..is much more athletic.

by **Susvain** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 5:13 pm

Baseball you can be 300lbs, you dont HAVE to be in shape. You can play firstbase, play dh, and sometimes 3rd base and you dont have to be that athletic. Obviously not some fat obeesed idiot.

Hockey sux, but atleast you need to have ALOT of endurance to skate up and down the rink for a whole game

by **Tadpole** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 5:14 pm

You can be a goalie and be 300lbs.

by **Susvain** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 5:16 pm

One spot in hockey, versus...3 spots in baseball?

by **Tadpole** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 5:18 pm

You cannot be a huge overweight goon and play 3rd base. It is called the hot corner for a reason. You need to be quick because the ball comes there at ya fast and hard...you also need to be quick and agile for bunts.

1st base maybe, and DH really doesn't count...baseball has more positions than hockey, so of course it will have more.

by **Tadpole** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 5:23 pm

You also need lots of endurance to play 162 games a year, including the play-offs if you reach that.

by **Susvain** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 5:25 pm

No idea on how much hockey games a year, plus playoffs for them

by **Phlegm** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 7:38 pm

hockey plays a 82 games season. 4 rounds of best of 7 if you make it all the way to the final. Hockey is more athletic.

theres no fuckin way you could be a 300lb goalie. you stand crouched for a majority of the game, that alone would kill a 300lbers back in 1 season. goalies are some of the most atheletic and agile players on the ice.

by **Tadpole** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 9:44 pm

you couldn't be 300lbs and play third base either.

by **Susvain** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 9:45 pm

OMG fine i was wrong with 3rd base, quit using it for EVERY argument, still....DH and 1st base you dont need to be in shape

by **Tadpole** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 9:47 pm

that is a load of crap. you dont need to be in shape to play 1st or DH? how are you going to get through 162 games a year? obviously you are in some sort of shape if you can play on a major league team and produce.

by **Gypsiyee** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 9:47 pm

Not a big hockey fan, huge baseball fan, but going to have to say hockey

There's a lot more idle time in baseball, hockey is constantly on the go, and skating alone takes a lot of endurance

You can't be like Harisson....but you dont need to be like miguel tejada...hockey you have to be in better condition than baseball...

You seem a little bias because you like baseball more, so does most everyone here, but hockey is more athletic

by **Harrison** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 10:58 pm

...

I am in fucking damned good shape.

by **Captain Insano** » Fri Aug 05, 2005 2:45 am

baseball requires the physical stamina of tournament poker or bowling.

I really hate baseball. Its a horribly boring sport. I like hockey when there are lots of fights. They should really encourage fighting, beating up refs and the crowd and poor sportsmanship in hockey... It would make it a fantastic sport to watch.

John Kruk, Cecil Fielder.....

by **Mop** » Fri Aug 05, 2005 4:37 pm

you have named two, one of which was not very good with in 3 years of getting fat after coming back from japan.

kruk had great athleticism.

by **Gidan** » Fri Aug 05, 2005 4:42 pm

I have played both, Hockey is far more demanding on the body then baseball. In baseball you need to be in decent shape to play some positions and great shape for others. In hockey you have to be in amazing shape to play any position. Hockey kicks your ass every day you play, there are no slow days. There is not a single day on a baseball field that would campare with even an easy day in the rink.

by **Snero** » Fri Aug 05, 2005 4:42 pm

anybody who voted for baseball is either joking or clueless

by **Harrison** » Fri Aug 05, 2005 5:57 pm

I vote clueless.

I hate hockey and know the difference.

by **Narrock** » Fri Aug 05, 2005 7:39 pm

With baseball, there's too much standing around time with your thumb up your ass. That's why it's incredibly boring to watch. At least in Hockey, you're constantly on the move and getting in other playa's grills.

by **lareau** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 8:44 am

people forgot the catcher, you can be a fat ass like Carleton Fisk (sp?) and make tonnes of money.

Hockey all the way, after 2 minutes on the ice you need a break. I've played both and there isn't any comparison. The best competitor for hockey would be soccer.

Right and they are still fat asses playing baseball. Here is two more Ponson and Colon. These two guys were starting against each other last tuesday night on ESPN when the Orioles played the Angels. Both are well over 250.
