Wow. That's such an interesting observation. Two major uniquely American sports have this pattern: QBs in football and pitchers in baseball. I wonder if it is just a coincidence of history. I guess cricket has the same pattern as well?

If you think that's interesting, did you ever consider that baseball is the only sport where the defense has the ball?

But the goal is to use your defense (bat) to prevent the offense throwing the missile at you, and blowing up your home(plate).

Ah, politics. It's all perspective.

Goalies in hockey, and whoever the best player is on the team in basketball. ;-)
