HOW IS BASEBALL’S CULTURE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER MAJOR SPORTS?
NEIL HEALY: Baseball is one of the more interesting cultures in sports because the player and coaches deal with failure more often than most other major sports do. The all-time great players still only hit around .300, so they fail seven out of 10 times at the plate. The large amount of games and how the game is set up leads to more times that you fail. Even if a major league team wins 100 games in a season the team still lost 62 times.
