1. Lower injury risk.

The biggest reason as to why the MLB is better than NFL is the chances of serious injury is significantly lower. Yes MLB players get hurt all the time but its rare to see injuries that can hurt a players life later. Most of MLB injuries are less serious are not life threatening. The NFL has such a huge rate of concussions that hurts the athletes later in life.

2. You cannot run out the ball in baseball.

Baseball is a beautiful sport because each team is given the same 27 outs to score more runs than the other team. If the winning team in football gets the ball back with 2 minutes to go the game is basically over, assuming there is no crazy play.

3. MLB plays games almost every day.

There are 162 games for each team during the regular season. MLB teams will play 25-28 games a month possibly which gives the fans a ton time to sit back and watch their teams. With the NFL, on the other hand, each team plays one time a week. With most of the games being on Sunday, this gives fans less of a chance to watch teams they do not cheer for.

4. The tradition of baseball.

The MLB has so many famous players, Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio and Jackie Robinson to just name a few. These are some of the best athletes. Americas past time, like what's better than watching a baseball day game with peanuts and a cold drink?

5. The mental part of the game.

MLB has so many strategic moves that can be played out at every single pitch. Will it be a slider inside, a high fastball, or a curve ball in the dirt? The unpredictability makes it so every single player on the field has to know what is going on. In football, if a wide receiver knows that ball will not be thrown to them they might take the play off. That is never the case in baseball.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
