Well, I do not know the whole detail to this question but can give some insight. The reason why Baseball players run the bases counter clockwise along with NASCAR, INDY, horse racing, dogs, running counter clockwise etc., has a lot to do with the American Revolution. Early Americans hated the British so much they wanted to do almost eveything opposite to their rules. In England and Europe, they run car and horse races clockwise, and I think Cricket runs clockwise as well, although they do not have a diamond like American Baseball. Hope that helps!

∙ 12y agoIt is because when constantly running on the track in the same direction (clockwise) it unbalances the runnner's legs since the inside of the track is the smallest amount lower than the track itself therefore to get equal strength in both legs it is good to run anticlockwise sometimes

Are most librarians athletic?
The stereotypical librarian is by no means athletic, but without a thorough survey of librarians to quantify just how many are actually athletic, there is no way to know for sure. Some librarians are athletic, while others are not; the profession consists of a diverse range of individuals, from couch-sitters to marathon runners. But since librarians tend to be book-loving information nerds, then it would be safe to say that most librarians probably aren't athletic.
