What is the hardest thing to do in baseball??

[Chi_archie]

Yes, and only one person comes to mind when you say you can be born with one hand and play in the MLB.

I don't want to argue, Man. This is stupid. Goat said some r3tarded $hit and I should have just let it go. The bottom line is to be a professional player whether it be MLB, NHL, NBA, NFL and we haven't even touched on MMA, you have to be extremely gifted. I take responsibility for this. I should have let him get away with the doughnut comment. Allen Iverson was 6 foot, ate and drank what he wanted, and smoked weed and drank. Fuk a doughnut.

well two guys with one hand have played....

but the height thing was separate from the amount of hands

allen iverson is another freak, coulda been pro in many sports

[2daBank]

he didn't mean "numbers"

he meant all the components...

shoot? check
dribble? check
catch a pass? check
throw a pass? check
run from one side of the court to the other? check

but seriously I think more guys at sbr could hit a 91 mph slider than dunk a basketball

yea i wasnt saying they would light the nba up, i am saying if i was in a nba gm i could spot up and jack some shots and hit a few, i certainly not gonna be the one creating the look but that someone else job to penatrate and get me a open jumper, set a off ball screen for me, whatever, i can shoot the rock and nba play a lot of lazy fukkin d on a night to night basis..

im sure i can still dunk a volley ball, doubt i can get up to where i need to be for a basketball these days but i have a few times in my life (think woody harrelson), could never hit a baseball but then again i have shitty eyes so to me hitting mlb pitching way freakin harder than playing in a nba gm...

2da has a point

I mean, this kid could maybe get 20 points in an NBA game ala Manute BOL if his teamates just kept driving and dishing

fukk john wall 1 on 1...all that takes is a little lateral quickness, and if that not enough i learned this little trick back in the day if the guy simply to fast to stay in front of, when you slide over you "accidentally" stick a good hard knee right in guys thigh, tends to slow them down just enough..

Always wins parley of 9 and 10 picks !!! every year this year none happened only in NHL 10 picks !!! i thinking to change method and make parleys of 4 and 5 picks and put more money in them !!! this year is awful im losing all the money goes winning in NHL, NBA !!!

[2daBank]

[Yo =Chi_archie;15679340]in all of sports?

the hitting a round ball with a rounded bat being the hardest thing is BS

take 100 of the worst sbr poster athletes

give them a chance to hit 95 mph heat and almost everyone will get some wood on it.

this could be without practice for years.

now of course they would hit .050 in single A ball.

but now try to get those same 100 posters to dunk a basketball or kick a 60 yard field goal or block N'domakan Suh or cover Calvin Johnson or Tackle

or stop a penalty kick in soccer or stop a malkin break away in hockey or gaurd John Wall in the open court or return a 140 mph serve or tackle Miachel Turner...

but even harder might be to do the things that we've seen gymnasts or figure skaters do in the olympics....

anyone here do a triple axl on skates?[/QUOTE

First of all there's no way 100 of the worst sbr posters could hit s 95 mph fastball. Have you ever seen a 95 mph fastball? So you're saying that Chapman takes a litle off a heater and a bunch of uncoordinated, fat, sbr posters are going to make contact? No, Sir. There's no possible way. Lets say they barely touch the ball. That means absolutely nothing. That's like saying somebody could get a hand on a 30 yard dart thrown by Brady and what? He gets credit for a catch? Or because I can hit a 3 pointer all the sudden playing in the NBA isn't that far off.

Mickey...99% of posters wouldnt event be able to get the bat off their shoulders on a pitch right down c0ck city!

1) going into the ring against Tyson (in the 1980s)
2) plunking 20 in a row in beer pong

[RudyRuetigger]

question needs better defined.

when i think of "hardest thing to do" i think in terms of skill (something most people have the chance to perform but are unable to because its so hard).

some of you guys are naming almost impossible things, but those are based on physical attributes.

[KingJD31]

archie is right

Baseball is only skill, there is no athleticism involved in the game. You don't need to work out, you don't need to run, it doesn't matter what % body fat you are, it doesn't matter how high you jump. The game is a joke. If it doesn't combine both athleticism and skill then it's at the bottom of sports and that's why baseball rating are going down, my friends.

Gold involves no athleticism. Only skill.

Try doing a 360 under the legs dunk. How many can do it? There are millions on earth that can hit a 95 mph fastball....

Try hitting a clean winner against Federer or Nadal. No chance.

There's not even any mental involved in the baseball game. Not like the pressure you are under if you're a tennis or golf player or quarterback. The things you have to read at the line.

where do I start, millions may be able to make contact with 95mph fastball, how many you think can hit major league pitching? also if you make the major leagues that is way more impressive then making the nba since you have to be born with a certain figure as well as nfl. No mental involved in baseball? do you understand how much time you have to react in order to make solid contact, pitcher has to remember what the hitters weakness is, fielders have to be adjusted properly for the circumstance. Bottom line making major leagues wayyyyyy more impressive than making nba

[KingJD31]

how many guys have made the nba based on height compared to mlb?

[briedward]

I could easily hit a 95 mph fastball. Maybe not on the first try. But give me 10 tries - I bet I could hit a single.

[Regul8er]

briedward....if you have never played competitive baseball, you wouldn't only not hit a 95 mph fastball, you wouldnt even be able to swing the bat until after the catcher has caught the ball. You'd also be bailing so fast it would make you dizzy.

I see your arguments for the first 4 points but saying there is nothing mental involved in baseball? Are you kidding me? It is WAY more mental than most sports. Isn't 90% of the game half mental?

I sort of played baseball in college, if you call it that - a JV team for a Division III school - lol. Our only victories came when we would beat Caltech's varsity. I would play right field in a slight daze, having smoked too much weed the previous night. I was always good enough to stay interested in baseball, but never good enough to make it on a varsity team for either high school or college.

[BAUS]

The hardest thing to do in baseball is make it to the big leagues.

BAUS

[Regul8er]

warder.....then you could probably at least make contact....as you probably saw a few flamethrows in your day.

Unsettling feeling when pitcher is throwing darts, but has no idea where its going.

[You mad bro]

i think if u get 10 tries to hit a half court shot and 10 tries to hit a 100 mph fastball ... (for an average sbr poster)


IMO i think you will be able to hit the shot over even making contact with that ball ... ur 60 ft away and u pretty much have to swing when the ball leaves the guys hand ... also you have no idea where the ball is going to go .. inside, outside, high, low

idk i was just curious

Perfect Game !!!!!!!!!!!!!
