Baseball

For those of you who are die hard baseball fans like me, I've got an interesting challenge for you.

Next time you're watching a game (try to watch the entire 9 innings), count how many times you see a player swing and miss.

Major League players don't get nearly enough credit for how good they are hitting the baseball. Also, pitchers don't get enough credit for how well they work the hitters. Notice...hitters will swing and foul it off, but very rarely do you see a player swing and miss. You especially don't see the player swing and miss more than once in the same at-bat.

That is probably the biggest different between

Challenge accepted! (Even if I am not a diehard baseball fan.)
