A long time ago a multi-sport athlete whose name I've forgotten said that the most difficult thing to do in sports is to hit a baseball. I've heard quite a few multi-sport athletes agree with that statement since; I've never heard one disagree, though doubtless someone has. The point remains, it has long been acknowledged as one of the most difficult things to do well in all of sports.

Here's a 300-pounder that can do it.

Considering the rare MLB player that fails 7 out of every 10 times he bats is probably going to be receiving votes for the Hall of Fame I would agree. The only extremely difficult task I can think that may compare would be a pro hockey goalie on skates and in heavy pads with sticks in front of his ice crease trying to stop a 90mph slap shot.

The most difficult thing in sports? Come on... there’s no question. It’s watching a soccer game.

Per Lackford in Skull Session.... Malone visiting A+M,Usc and others for baseball. I'm not sure the 5 OV rule is 5 for each sport but I would guess not because too easy to abuse. Looks like another recruit may now be a much tougher get than people thought.

Good question. Do they get 5 visits per sport they are recruited for or is it just 5 overall visits even if multiple sports want them. I know lots of players have done the track and football thing but I’m not sure many of them were fully recruited as a “main” athlete for track and Then as a main athlete for football by the same school’s football program.

But I would agree, it’s likely just 5 overall visits which can be paid for by the hosting school, or as you said it would open the door for lots of abuses.
Does anyone else get the vibe that he is slightly leaning towards baseball as his main focus or am I just noticing that the Summer season and timing is more in line with baseball and it could shift back towards football once the Fall weather rolls around?
