the most exciting play in baseball
rickey rounds 2nd, for example
put your favorite right fielder in right, can he nail rickey
For my money, the most exciting play in baseball is a medium deep fly ball with a runner on 3rd and less than two out. You're instantly computing the arm (and glove) of the outfielder, the speed (and timing) of the baserunner, the guts (pre-2014) of the catcher; all while the ball in is the air.
The most artistic play is a 5-4-3 double play. Done well, it's almost like ballet.
