Re: Why don\'t pro baseball players run through first?

The amount of money they make probably contributes to the problem, actually. Do you want your $18m a year slugger pulling a hammy running out a routine grounder? It might be lame, but probably smart sometimes.

No offense but this is a dumb argument imo. I want my $18m a year slugger in good enough shape that he doesn't hurt himself running to first. I mean seriously if you can't sprint 90 feet without hurting yourself, you don't deserve to be called a professional athlete.

Yeah well I want a toilet made of gold, but sometimes you have to take what you can get. If you have a big fat slugger who produces a ton of runs for your team but is bulky and injury prone, you allow him to jog on a routine groundout because having him in the lineup creates wins for your team.
