yes I have :dunno: Can I hit them consistently? Hell no, with practice? hell yes...
Also for the record, I tend to stand to the side of a ball flying towards my direction, therefore I don't get hit
Ninja Edit: Come to think of it, I think the fastest ball I've ever hit was in the high 80s
h: So no, I've never hit a 96mph ball

I honestly doubt you could, but with that aside....Don't you think getting consistant solid contact over 750 times is nothing short of amazing? Fastballs are easy to hit too. 6-12 curvballs at 68 mph are when it begins to get tricky.

You know what's amazing to me? People finding cures for diseases, exploring the deep oceans, people mapping the human genome...
Hitting a ball 750 times where it be 100mph or 65mph? Not really amazing to me, but to each their own I suppose

its not that tough when thats all you have to work on. He's had hand eye coordination for the longest time. He was a great player when he played for Pittsburgh. Now with the "b12" shots he hits the ball a lot farther

I am and have been following bonds HR total for awhile. Granted the guy is not the most personable but he is a hell of a ball player. He has never failed a drug test but is being treated as if he is 100% guilty. And for all people who say who cares he still took steroids, even if he did there was nothing against it in the baseball rulebook until several years ago. GO BONDS!

part the reason bonds gets some hate is because he's a first class asshole
and a snake.
