Question


Does anyone hit a hung pitch harder than Albert Pujols (with the exception of Vlad)? As my interest in post-season baseball settles down to only watching when there's no better sporting event on, I'm drawn to pull for the Latino players. Now, the White Sox are my real darling team, with not one, but TWO Cuban players. Cubans, B! Not to mention a slew of Dominicans. But Pujols is just amazing. He hit that ball at least 900 feet.

So what I'm really getting at here is the necessity for an MLB player Olympic-style tournament, now that baseball has been removed from the Olympics and never allowed pro players anyways. I'd put my money on Cuba, that's for sure. And all you gringos would be paying me.

*Editor's sidenote: I do not accept peso or centavos for payment of bets.*

If you want to add Manny, you have to add Papi and Barry. Pujols crushes, but no one turns on the ball later and harder than Barry.

My favorite part of the home run was LaRussa standing in the dugout and never uncrossing his arms. I'll bet his his wife hit him in the face with a placenta to wake him up when his baby was born.
