Considering how jacked baseball's best players are today, and even the lengths of which players go to become as jacked as possible, I would definitely say you're talking out your ass here. Barry Bonds has a 8-hour workout routine he does every day in the offseason, and throwing a baseball at 100mph is pretty rough if you're out of shape.Quote:

Lenny Dykstra is the classic example, but there are plenty others. Pete Rose never looked all that great but he could hit pretty well.

Yea, well, Lenny Dykstra's last good season was in 1993, and Pete Rose played in the 1970's. It's a different game now than it was in the 1970s, 1980s, and even early 1990s. For better or worse, McGwire/Sosa/Bonds totally changed the game, at least in the short term.
You look at football players from the 1970s and they dont look nearly as big as they do now. Even basketball, to some degree. Training in the off-season is now way more important than it ever was. It's just the nature of things.
It's two guys playing catch, and occassionally the baseball will be hit and they'll be some running. Kirby Puckett was totally out of shape, infact he was shaped like a fridge with legs and he still played fine. Being able to throw a ball that fast means you have to have 1 strong arm and know about leverage.Quote:

Sounds like the side effects of smelling like B.O. man, I'd look into that. Did you come fresh off of the baseball feild, oh my no because it's possible to go a whole game of baseball without doing anything, but did you come fresh off of the football feild.Quote:

Also I'm pretty sure that the alien that got recovered in Roswell, New Mexico was some kind of crazy space-asian too.
Yeah... BO... that must be it... that was an absolutely brilliant response... seriously, I mean it... it was both funny, and clever!

Just remember my good friend, you can wash away the B.O. smell, but you can't wash away the annoying.
I think of golf more as a game though, but in the same vein I suppose baseball is a 'past time'.Quote:
