Agreed, but remember that only 6 or 7 guys from a 25-man MLB roster would need to compete. I don't think it would be difficult to find that many guys that would have the stamina to last through a single basketball game.

6 or 7? Basketball teams have 10 or 12 players, for the very reason that no one has the stamina to last through a whole game.

the thing is Basketball stamina isn't unique, baseball players who work out in the offseason could play a full game of basketball (and some do as has already been mentioned). Your shortstop, second baseman and center fielder are all going to workout in some way to mitigate this. On the other hand pitching requires a totally unique staminina, you can't just go out and heave 40-50 fastballswithout your shoulder throobbing, and there aren't basketball players who do anything that will remotely get them accustomed to this (except the rare guy who might play baseball for fun, but thats going to be much rarer than baseball players who play basketball).
