昔から疑問に思っていたことがある。野球部はなぜあんなに長い時間ランニングをするのか。無駄に毎日走るものだから校内のマラソン大会で上位に食い込んでくる。ピッチャーならわかるが、他のポジションの選手は持久力なんて大して要らない。むしろ筋トレをすればいい。とはいえ、これを野球部員に言っても仕方がない。彼らもまた走らされているだけなのだ。
I've always had a question in my mind: Why do baseball teams run so much? They run unnecessarily every day, and as a result, they end up dominating the school's marathon events. I can understand if it's for pitchers, but players in other positions don't really need that much endurance. They'd be better off doing strength training. However, it's pointless to say this to baseball team members. After all, they're just being made to run as well.
