Can More People Hit A Home Run Or Dunk A Basketball?

[The Jewnited States]

If you brought every human on earth to a Major League ballpark and pitched them batting practice balls, and also set up a 10-foot basketball hoop, could more people hit a home run or successfully dunk a basketball? Assume they can swing until they get tired and that they can get a running start and don’t have to dribble to dunk.

stolen from deadspin but i thought it was an interesting question

i think more people would be able to dunk

Lmao dunk and it's not even close

yeah fukking right lotta people cant dunk on 10 I been doing this dunking shyt

 

[ALonelyDad]

I can't do either but I feel like I would have a much better chance at hitting a home run.. obviously not on an actual pitch

I've seen multiple baseball, football, and track athletes dunk playin pick up ball. Idk too many people who haven't played baseball with a decent swing let alone hit some out the park

 

[10bandz]

probably dunking

and if you're short with no baseball experience you probably won't be able to do neither

 

[stealthbomber]

the only limiting factor for dunking is height. at about 6' 2" even if you're out of shape there's no way you couldn't dunk..

hitting a home run takes skill beyond just power. a lot of strong mf's couldn't hit a homer.


average height in the us for males is 5' 10"




ima say dunk

Idk what your your trying to get at but obviously it's dunk

every human on earth?

Only like 5% of people would likely even be aware of what basebal is. If even that.

I'm going with hitting a home run. The hand eye coordination it takes to do that is pretty high. With dunking all it really requires is height.

Dunk. If you're 6'2 plus it shouldn't be that hard.

Most people won't be able to dunk but more people wouldn't be able to hit. They won't have the hand eye coordination, timing, and mechanics to hit a home run forget the strength.

The average person would look like a retard swinging a bat, it would literally feel like a foreign object in your hand if you never played baseball. Most cats would struggle to hit 30 mile per hour BP wiffing out they shoes.

However, I feel like if you can't dunk you just flat out can't dunk. You can't do anything to dunk. Maybe if you're a strong motherfukker you can get the bat with the sweet spot on it and hit it out.

Home run. U can get it by like the 60th try. Cant dunk if u a short mf

 

[El Bombi]

This is a dumbass question.

 

[BaldingSoHard]

I think more people could dunk.

Cause I'm not shyt athetically. There's no scenario where I could dunk the ball.

But feed me 20,000 pitches, not-awful chance one of those motherfukkers is going over the wall.

people will know what baseball is just like people know what cricket is. They just won't play it
