The Best Baseball position: Pitcher  
AMUSING 

Tags: baseball, best, player, positions, catcher, first base, second base, third base, infield, outfield

After playing baseball for years I have decided that this position offers the most interest and control to enjoying the sport of baseball.

	You control the tempo of the game.
	If you enjoy throwing the ball, that is all you will do.
	You can make funny faces as you throw and no one will tell you to stop.
	You stand on a small hill looking down on everyone.
	If you get too hot and your hands are sweaty you can put some baby powder on them.
	You keep the batters guessing about ball location.
	You get to have your entire team, except the catcher, stare at your ass the whole game.
	Your team applauds your work by slapping their hands into their mitts.
	You can argue silently with the catcher.
	If neither of you agree on a throw he will come out and argue verbally with you.
	Sometimes, if you are doing badly you can play soft toss with the first baseman.
	If you are doing poorly the third basemen with come over and cheer you up with a joke or anecdote.
	If you are by far doing the worst job anyone has ever seen, most of the infield, the catcher, the coach and maybe even the umpire will come out and talk with you.
	If an opposing player makes you angry or said something awful about you in the press, you can try and put a ball into his ear. (If he falls down, you sort of feel better because now he is dirty and probably unsure of where the next pitch could go)
	If batters keep hitting the ball outside of the fence, you can throw your glove and hat on the ground in disgust.
	If you really hurt the batter by hitting him with the ball, you might have to learn to dodge a flying bat.
