on Earth that would have the ability to make contact with this pitch, let alone hit it with authority.

The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good. Because otherwise, who would care?

Not easy at all. A really good contact hitter would foul it off. An Albert Pujols type hitter circa 15 years ago would have yanked that into the second deck in left field. Most would swing and miss.
BTW, Tony Gwynn would have hit it to the 5.5 hole for a single.

Gwynn was a freak.
He's part of the Musial/Williams/Carew/Cobb mold of guys who could hit anything.

I think he was more athletic than people gave him credit for. A lot of what people take this from were pictures of him from in his later years.BigRedRetard wrote: ↑Sat Aug 27, 2022 5:55 pmIts true.

That being said, players then weren't nearly as into taking care of their bodies as they are now.
P.S. And would you call an NFL offensive lineman a non-athlete? They usually carry a lot of weight around (with emphasis on round/heavy)
