    A GOLFER QUERIES A BASEBALL PLAYER: Where’s the ball when you swing? Whizzing by at 90 mph - the pitcher does not want me to hit it. How quiet Is the crowd? They’re making as much noise as possible. How much time do you have to swing? Four tenths of a second.

        This is why the average professional golfer earns $629k and the average pro ball player earns $4million

        It's sad that someone playing a game can make 50m while those teaching our future get 50k

        It’s called economics... you have tens of millions of people that can teach, only a few hundred that can play a sport that nets $Billions in profits from paying customers. It would be a travesty if they only got paid $50k. Would you prefer all that money go only to the owners?

        How about a bowler hitting the seam and the ball deviating at 5° on the spot or a spinner making the ball turn at 30° in either direction and doing it whilst running not sitting down for 20 mins between bats. Oh yeah and only one player has gloves to catch it

        God is intrinsic to science the same way a rotting fish carcass is intrinsic to a radio.
