This is a follow up thread to the "Most important position in sports" thread on the Football forum. My question is, what is the "best" position in all of sports. To me that means the most fun to play. I've played football, rugby, baseball, soccer, tennis at the HS varsity level. Played competitive basketball, softball, soccer at the men's league level as an adult. I was a natural athlete and pretty good at every sport I played. Of all the sports I played, these are my two favorite positions:
#1. Football linebacker. Run or pass, LBs are usually there to make a tackle. Wherever the ball is, a LB is likely there. I love tackling. Delivering a hit is way more fun that receiving a hit, and playing linebacker was my favorite position. I mostly played WR in HS, but I was also an undersized backup LB. Not a big hitter, but a sure tackler.
#2. Baseball catcher. Again, in on every play. I love wearing the gear. I even like taking a foul tip off the facemask. Just something old-school cool about being a catcher.
