I hate fat baseball players too, but you're comparing a sport that is far more reliant on skill to one that's based more on athleticism and mostly pure athletic endurance. You could say that 8.5 miles James Milner ran isnt shit when comparing it to other competitive sports that require athleticism and pure athletic endurance, like a Triathletes. That isn't even 1/3rd of just the running portion of a Triathlon.
