Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 2996002, member: 7492"] With the Kyler Murray decision to go into the NFL draft (after 1 season of QB and Heisman) and to forego, at least for now, playing baseball, it got me thinking about the degree of difficulty of all the pro team sports. When we have a tennis player or pro golfer deciding between baseball/basketball/football/hockey during their prime years, I will revise my sports! To me, Baseball is the hardest of sports to play. #1 picks might not even make it to the Majors. Hockey is #2, followed by basketball and then football. The later two are size driven, meaning the taller or larger that you are, the induced you are to play the sport. How many quarterbacks have we seen fizzle at baseball, only to go back to football? I recall only two good football players being decent to good at baseball- Bo Jackson and Brian Jordan. However Deion, John Elway were HOF. Danny Ainge tried playing for the Toronto Blue Jays before being a starter for the Celtics. Careers are longer in MLB but it is significantly harder to attain success. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
