My 3 year old can run, jump, and dunk on a (tiny) hoop. If an adult doesn’t have the ability or coordination or “body awareness/anticipation” (lol wtf is that?) to place a thing on another thing, especially after unlimited practice, well bless their hearts. And they sure as heck ain’t homering!

1 in 200! I don’t think 1 in 20,000 could hit a home run! I think you’re highly overestimating the athleticism of even an average human.

I’d argue there are wayyy more people who “work on” jumping upwards versus swinging a wooden bat hard enough and in such a specific technical manner to hit a tiny 70 mph baseball 400 feet.

Counter-counterargument: A cricketer uses a totally different bat in weight, shape, and material, with a different ball from a different angle. Also they don’t have to know shit about a basketball, just hold it and drop it through that circle hoopy thing!

But you already play softball! You have the skill and technique to know what you’re doing. There are a shitload less people who do that (especially in every other country on earth), compared to being simply tall enough.

But the pool for potential “just jump high” dunkers is much much higher than potential “has any idea what to do with a baseball bat” homerers- if we’re being literal about all humans on earth. I bet 98% of the world has never swung a wood baseball bat and would have zero chance of homering, no matter how much…

There are way more tall people in the world who only have to jump upwards a couple of feet, compared to people who have the strength, hand-eye coordination, and technique to hit a baseball high and far enough over a fence.

The kerning on that top image is giving me a facial tic.

But he’s been to SEVERAL games, sir!

I must be an idiot, but who the fuck is Heyman? Just comes out of nowhere in the article.

No more terrible Blue Apron ads? RIP.

Why the fuck would he use his left foot there? Good lord.

That correlation chart seems to be missing Walter Johnson and Cy Young (the two highest early-year WARs). Johnson would definitely change the correlation.

This is absolutely your finest work, Mr. Burke. I’ve watched this about 20 times, and will do so another 100. Top notch.

If you use Chrome, get the Google Dictionary extension. Double-click on any word and it instantly pops up the definition. I definitely used it for affianced.

First thing I thought of too. They somehow get his SSN and Kasino or one of his boys intentionally gets caught stealing some minor stuff (in case it doesn’t work). Pretty brilliant payback.

I have a blood clotting condition thus poor circulation, so I’ve been excited about the rise in spandex because now I look less weird with the compression socks I wear at the gym!

Toucher and Rich are the best. Beetle is great too. Everyone else is horrible. I can’t believe you went through this much effort though, very impressive (and crazy)!

I want to kiss this post right on its mouth. Bravo.

No Tecmo Super Bowl? BOOOOOOOOO
