I saw no reference to baseball players in the summary, yet there were gobs of soccer players, and I submit that the ability to size up a complex baseball situation and act accordingly, and the ability to size up a baseball coming to you from the pitcher at speeds up to 100 mph and react to it, are certainly more difficult that kicking some damn ball down the field or trying to interfere with it.

That is true. You could pump me full of all the steroids in the world and I would still most likely strike out.

It was said that Ted Williams could see the spin of a pitched ball and calculate what the ball would do.
