Top 10 Interesting Things About Baseball

by Burak Uzun

We all know the deal – homeruns, balls, strikes and running the bases. But here are ten truly interesting things about our national pastime.

10 - Derek Jeter has a Manager at work just like you do
9 - Satisfying an Oral Fixation is a big part of the sport, either through Sunflower Seeds, Bubble Gum or Chewing Tobacco. I don’t think many players were breastfed as babies
8 - Pitchers have one arm that’s worth millions of dollars and one arm that’s virtually worthless
7 - Baseball players adjust themselves countless times a game without any public ridicule
6 - Some fans bring their glove to the park, but nobody ever wears cleats
5 - Cursing an Umpire’s Mother to hell is OK. But if you touch his arm you’re out of the game and possibly fined
4 - “Sliding on his butt” is part of a Baseball player’s job description
3 - It’s the easiest sport to take bathroom breaks by far: no bulky equipment to take off and you can sneak into the clubhouse between innings
2 - Batting Helmets looks just like Baseball Caps to keep with “the look”
1 - With all of the food options available at Stadiums these days, I think they can do away with the F’ing peanuts
