How could baseball be considered better than soccer?

I don't understand how people can say that baseball is better than soccer. Soccer requires a great deal of athleticism, not that baseball doesn't require some athleticism. To be a soccer player you need to be well-rounded. By this I mean, you have to have good foot skills, anticipation, quick reaction time and it is a sport where the entire team plays. Baseball on the other hand, you need good hand-eye coordination and you are pretty much set. If you can catch a ball, and hit a ball that is all the skill you pretty much need. Besides that, baseball is a lot of sitting and waiting for something to happen, where soccer you only sit and wait if someone gets injured. Soccer has a lot more action than baseball. Someone made the argument that you make a lot more runs in baseball than you do in soccer. While that is true, soccer requires the player to work harder to score the goal. Baseball, you hit a home run, jog around the bases and sit down. Soccer, you need to have creativity in getting around the defense, then have the skill to be able to put the ball in the back of the net. Altogether soccer has to be a better sport than baseball.
