Baseball teaches you that if you are a klutz, that you are a thorn in everyone else's side. And most games are organized by adult coaches, with the kids basically doing what they are told to do, instead of experimenting on their own.

I used to organize my sisters and we used to put on shows. Now, that was a group effort that allowed everybody to contribute their own unique talents to.
