Doesn't the ball get thrown back to first at like 60 mph or something like that?

He also definitely DID NOT help them win the World Series. He was terrible at stealing bases.

In the 1974 postseason, Washington pinch-ran three...and was thrown out both times he attempt a steal.

31 steals is nice...but he was CAUGHT 17 times. A 64% success rate is awful.

JOHN KRUK has a higher success rate in his career.

you wouldn't need a sprinter

but you'd need a baseball player who actually cared about not being like prince fielder

Edit: athletically of course...smh at dudes having a no conditioning clause in their contracts

:leostare:

Nope.

baseball takes the least skill out of any of the big sports (nba, nhl, nfl and mlb)

defending unless you're the pitcher = easy as fukk, anyone can do any position, yeah i said it :birdman:

just have to be a good batter and you're in the mlb :gladbron:
