Default Re: Hypothetical Sports Contest #2

I think the highschool baseball team would win this.

The basketballers are professional athletes, so they might have better discipline, and definitely are fitter and stronger.

However their size would be a big disadvantage, for batting, pitcher and catcher, and to a minor extent throwing the ball for the fielders.

The strikezone of those tall people is just too large, the catcher too slow in throwing the ball if he needs to stand up first, all basketballers too slow in throwing the balls because of their exceptionally long arms.

Btw, as a European I dont really have a clue about baseball or basketball [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
