That, my friends, was pathetic!

That guy at the All Star game had a chance to win $1 Million. All he had to do was hit a ball 280 ft off of a FREAKIN' TEE! He didn't even get it out of the infield. If I was him, I think I would go hide for about 10 years. The first 2 didn't even get past the pitcher's mound.

Oh, for a chance like that!

I also thought Fox's reaction was hilarious - after the guy hit his 3rd one, they just mentioned that the All Star game was up next and went to a commercial break. They didn't even mention it!

    heh I thought the same thing...absolutely miserable. It was absolutely anti-climactic...they should at least pre-screen these guys!

    when he walked up I told my wife, watch this geek.

    clearly never played a lick of baseball in his entire life.

    my 4 and 6 year old daughters could have done as well and my 9 year old boy would have certainly brought home some cash for dad.

    If you saw this guy swinging, you'd think differently...no athletic ability whatsoever, his first two didn't even get out of the infield.

    While it wasn't nearly as bad as the mayor of Cincinnati throwing out the opening day ball, it was damned close.

    That guy is going to be subject to a lot of ridicule over the next few days, especially tomorrow with very little sports news.

    << <i><<If you saw this guy swinging, you'd think differently...no athletic ability whatsoever, his first two didn't even get out of the infield.>>


    I'm sure you guys are right about the particular individual but to phrase the actual contest in terms of "all he had to do was hit a ball 280 ft off of a FREAKIN' TEE" is not anywhere near an accurate reflection of the difficulty involved. If it were 200 ft, then okay, but even that wouldn't be a gimme under the circumstances.. In fact, hitting if off a tee in 3 tries to 280 ft or greater IMO is MUCH HARDER than sinking a basket from the half court line on one try. And the concept that a 9 year old could do this is ridiculous. >>




    I agree!
