Default Re: Hypothetical Sports Contest #2

Have you guys ever seen Charles Barkley play golf? With a swing like that there is no way on earth he could hit a baseball.

Why does everyone assume that "athleticism" is so transferrable between all sports? A lot of these guys in the NBA are there mainly because they are abnormally tall.

The idea that "any good 6'7" strong athlete could throw 90 mph down the middle" is preposterous.

IMO the HS baseball team would win easily. My intuition tells me it would actually deteriorate into a laughable affair after a couple of innings.
