The reason why Baseball and Hockey are my favorite sports, is because they're both "games of inches". You can say other sports are, but these are the only two where it's actually true. LaCrosse, also, could be considered similar.

Example:
In Football, you don't make the "Fourth and Inches" conversion by one-inch.
In Futbol, if you kick the ball one inch to the left, you still may score.
In Basketball, if a guy's a foot taller than you than an inch will do shit.
Those are the main sports. Golf and Tennis are awesome to play.
So, is Football, Futbol, and Basketball.
