Why do baseball players always seem to grabbing   their crotch? and don't they realize they are on camera?

Because they're wearing a cup, and cups aren't all that comfortable.  Now, with that said, I guess baseball players just have less self-restraint than football, hockey, and soccer players.

If they know each other well they probably try to just BS about their lives in a silly way to pretend that they have normal jobs. \n\nIf they dont know each other well they probably are real sarcastic or trash talk so that the runner will be distracted and get picked off. \n\nWhen I used to play first base i'd say stuff like "whoa what a shit*ty hit, you must feel lucky you made it on base" , or "did your mom change her number or just not pay the phone bill?" \n\netc. \n\nMost first basemans in the MLB are stars and most people who make it on base are stars too, and like any other business they like to congregate with their own kind.

You already received some really good answers here.  In checking your other question, you probably went just over the line in criticizing those who play/love to follow baseball.  And, people can be touchy and defensive about anything that they really love...\n\nIf you just wrote sonmething on the order of "Can someone explain to me the greatness of baseball.  I just don't get it", you may not have gotten the occasional p'd-off response.

They don't intentionally put on their helmet, the put it on their bats, and then adjust their helmet with the same hand.  Some baseball players are really grimy and don't get new helmets very often.  You would think they could afford new helmets or a tip to the bat boy to clean it off.

You know how on a hot day your balls stick to your leg if you wear boxers?  Well, the same goes for some women's thighs.  They kindof stick together and make walking akward.  If they don't have that problem it's probably because it's more professional or something like that.

I think they are not intentionally showing theirs, it is just because they want to feel comfortable. You know playing tennis is not easy you will sweat a lot and most of the entire game you end up running the court. Wearing bra will distract their performance on court.

To give you an answer while quoting some of the former professionals themselves:\nOne 2 sport star played both Pro Basketball and Pro Baseball in Philadelphia (sorry, his name slips my mind at the moment (perhaps it was Ron REED), but NOT his quote) once said, "we had to get in shape to play basketball, but in baseball we got out of shape." \n\nAnd, from another player who once played for the Phillies: John Kruk, former first baseman, who responded to this fan from the stands who commented; "you are a disgrace as an athlete" (because of his known dietary habits, smoking, chewing tobacco, and very large beer belly stomach).\n"Hey Lady, I am NOT an athlete, I am a baseball player OK?"

Superstitious. A lot of ball players are. I remember there was one pitcher who wouldn't step on the white chalk line when he returned to the dug out. Others take two practice swings before going to the plate. It's all mental, but if it helps to calm them down, why not?

Yeah. It's not just of baseball players though.\nhttp://www.scott-o-rama.com/Coppermine/thumbnails.php?album=1

you have such a good point i always wondered that. its like, gay in the majors and when you see little league coaches do it to their players...damn. no offense to them it just seems a little out there..im with you on that.

I agree with you. these people want to public to notice them...so they become rockstars, comedians, actors etc....but they expect the attention to be on the talent and not their personal lives. People wanna know everything about them, what they wear, who they fucked, their favorite food, even what their farts smell like....because they are famous. they are idolized people wanna be them....so they wanna know about them. Celebs know that no matter how much they try they will never have complete privacy especially in their love lives...Al though I dont agree with the flagging the celebs to take pics of the kids (becasue the kids didn't ask for this life, they were born into it.) Celebrities must realize that they are under a microscope and will be watched...they know that coming in....and if they are so mad about it, they need to stop doing stupid shit. because they will be scrutinized. Its ok for Jane Doe to be married 3 times, then become a lesbo, but not ok for j.Lo (just an example) because no one knows nor cares Jane Doe, but everyone knows who J.Lo is and they wanna know EVERYTHING about her.

It's probably a habit or reflex. Maybe it's a sign of nervousness. I think it's cool when they do it.

EVERYTHING in life has become too PC.  All sports are becoming overly cautious of anything and everything.  Thant's why we watch college ball.  They are playing to get noticed and to get signed.  They're not being paid to "entertain" the audience, yet.

Getting hit by the ball is part of the job.  I ump for young kids, 12U.  I wear steel toe shoes, shin guards, and a chest protector (sometimes).  Tell this umpire that if he can't take it, he shouldn't ump.  The league should be notified too.  Also, the league should do more to encourage and train more umpires.

Players do not come off as players until they hook a girl.  Then the girl sees his true colors.  No woman wants to be called a 'ho.  No woman would knowingly get involved with a creep who is banging everything with a pulse.

Mental because they normally come in to protect their teams lead. And they have to act like it's no big deal and just gets the outs. Otherwise they become basket cases and pitch really badly like Brad Lidge in Houston this year. He'd pitch great for a while, then suck really badly for a few weeks.
