(maybe she switch-hits...)

How? She's hot.

dont know.. just the whole you hope hot chicks kinda switch hit... you know the whole lets fantize about them kinda thing

I actually just thought of this, I don't care that I'm beating a dead horse.

Ocsoftballer, you mentioned something about reflex speed major leaguers don't have? While that is absolutely ridiculous in itself, have you ever heard of BAT SPEED?

A major leaguers bat speed is extremely higher than a female softball player's, which obviously allows them to wait on pitches longer, and hit faster pitching. Watch a Barry Bonds at bat, then point out a chick that can duplicate him. Reason why? For one they're men, so they're naturally stronger.

You'll never see a female major league player. I'm 110% sure of that .

Watching Bonds bat is a real treat. I went to a game at SBC Park this past summer, what a great ballpark. Bonds didn't play, but he pinch hit in the 8th. I was standing in right field by McCovey Cove, waiting for the ball to go over my head. Bonds popped out, which so confused the base runner (What? No homer?), that he got picked off on a bonehead base running mistake.

i think we ran Ocsoftballer off of her own thread...which is now being dominated by talk of the better, baseball

I'd pay $$ just to watch Bonds take batting practice. Not a ton of $$, but still.

im told he has one of the prettiest swings in the biz... wouldnt mind taking some lessons from him

Griffey Jr. has a pretty swing too. And one of the Boston boys, Manny Ramirez.

I actually saw griffey Jr. play a game..very fluid swing... great posture...

And to think that a guy with one of the ugliest swings ever seen outside of a little league diamond owns the career hits record.

chuck noblock (sp?) has got the ugliest stances to me... i hate watching him

nobbie retired a few years ago.

rod carew was fun to watch.
when i was a young'n i used to try to imitate that wacky stance

First of, in softball the pitcher is only 40ft. away from the batter. in baseball how faraway is it? what like 70-80 feet away. farther away. of course you have the ability to wait on the ball its farther away.

60 feet mound to home plate.

For the depraved...errr...I mean deprived

as stated above it is 60 ft mound to plate.. and when it comes down to a ratio of speeds : distance... it is still harder to hit a MLB piture then a pro softball pitcher... sorry sweet heart... you live in a fantasy world

PLUS! You're not allowed in my treehouse anymore!

So there I was, over in Paris
Eating wine and drinking cheese
And this guy comes up to me and he says
" Where are you from?"
Well, I says "Yeah, I'm from Canada"
And he says "Zoot Allure, mon Dieu, you are from Canada? Do you play hockey?"
And I says "Do I play hockey?

Chorus
Well, I play Air hockey, Ball hockey, Barn Hockey, Bubble Hockey, Field hockey,
Floor hockey, Ice hockey, Kitchen hockey, Road hockey,Roller hockey, Table hockey, Twist hockey
And I play hockey, hockey, hockey, hockey, hockey, hockey, hockey, hockey, hockey,
hockey, hockey, hockey, hockey, hockey,hockey all the time!
Take shots!

So there I was way out in California
And this guy comes up to me and he says
" Where are you from dude?"
Well, I says "Yeah, I'm from Canada"
And he says "Wow! Where are you from dude?"
And I says "Look I'm from Canada"
And he says "Wow. If you're from Canada? Do you like, play hockey?"
And I says "Do I play hockey?

Chorus

So there I was way down under in Australia
And this guy comes up to me and he says
" Where are you from?"
Well, I says "Yeah, I'm from Canada"
And he says "Do right, honey child. If you're from Canada? Do you play hockey?"
And I says "Do I play hockey?

Chorus

He shoots. He scores!
