A silly but serious question ? prop bet.
Here is the bet. Frank Thomas of the Jays and Jose Reyes of the Mets are going to have a race. Jose starts off from home plate, but Thomas gets a 10 foot head start down the 1st baseline.
Before the race your friend bets you that Reyes can't get home before Thomas gets to third. Do you take the action for $1000? There are no tricks, it's just a straight up race around the basepaths. A gun will start the race, and as noted, Thomas has a 10 foot lead. |
Re: A silly but serious question ? prop bet.
so.. is Jose Reyes 39% faster than Frank Thomas? Yes, yes he is.
|
Re: A silly but serious question ? prop bet.
Yeah, but if Frank can get in his way enough around first base so that Frank can somehow touch first base first, then maybe Frank can win?
|
Re: A silly but serious question ? prop bet.
Its 90 ft between bases right?
So Thomas has to run 260 ft before Reyes runs 360? I have to think Thomas would win that one. |
Re: A silly but serious question ? prop bet.
There's at least a 35% chance that Thomas blows a hamstring, take this into account.

Re: A silly but serious question ? prop bet.
Plus the players are running more than 90ft between bases.

Re: A silly but serious question ? prop bet.
Obviously, Reyes can run through home, but does Frank have to "stop" at third (like you would in a game)? If he has to slow up and stay on the bag, Reyes has to have the advantage. Even if Thomas just has to run through third, it's close.
