Team sports are defined by the fact it takes a team effort to win even if the team has the single best player in the game. What good is a quarterback without a line to protect him and receivers to catch the pass? A red-hot point guard can run up a 55 points by himself, but if his teammates don’t successfully stop their opponents from scoring less than 70, all those baskets will have been for nothing. Baseball presents the dynamic of the rugged individual against the power of the cooperative in a way unlike any other team sport. Yet at the same that a single individual with no help at all from any of his teammates can turn a looming loss into a celebratory win, the defense must depend upon every member of the team at play in the field coming through and working as a collective unit. When the batter steps into the plate, the power to earn a run out of that at-bat is upon his shoulders alone.
Baseball is both a team sport and an individual sport-often simultaneously.
