[QUOTE="Roundball Sage, post: 2001851, member: 748116"] That is very much right. The beauty of basketball, hockey, soccer, and football is found in the Team acting as a unified force and blending each individual skill into a larger whole greater that the single parts alone. Baseball at its heart is mostly a one-on-one game within a team-appearing framework. Pitcher vs. Batter is the core of this game. Everything else that goes on at the ball field is secondary to a mostly one against one competition. In football, the oversized importance of one man -- what quality of QB you have -- does tower over the team concept a bit. Just like in hockey when you have a stud goalie and the other guys don't. But the beauty of roundball is that you must have 'Team' working as a cohesive unit on both ends of the floor every second of game play. [/QUOTE]
