Re: HOME RUN HITTERS

["Jim Meninno" <jim_meninno@hotmail.com>]

As long as you're going to remember the quote, you should know that the 
sportswriter you heard was plagiarizing (or at least alluding to) Ted 
Williams, who knows a thing or two about hitting baseballs.  Whether he 
is qualified to judge the most difficult feat in sports is another 
matter.  Personally, I think this would be different things for 
different people and I can't believe that Ted found hitting more 
difficult than, say, dunking a basketball.  Hitting requires incredible 
precision and timing, though, and I would not detract one bit from 
McGuire's accomplishments.  Most impressive to me is the concentration 
he has shown through three very long baseball seasons.  The list of 
players who have hit 50 home runs is short and to have done it three 
years in a row is incredible.

difficult thing to do in the sports world is hit a baseball with a bat.  
I never forgot that because I agree with him.
