Did you know that the artichoke is actually a thistle? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artichoke I didn't know that. If you ever tasted one you would be surprised. I hate atrichokes. And golf. Just cuz you can't hit a golf ball further with a baseball bat than I can with a golf club. 8) Oh yeah. Forgot about that. As much as I like Tom, *this* bet he is gonna lose. Eisboch *That's* and interesting wager! How will the ball be delivered to the bat? Tee-ball? The club will win. A pitch? Now you have a challenge! The 'longest' home run was no more than 650 feet, and that's being most generous. It was probably less than 550 feet. That's less than 225 yds, which ain't squat for one who can hit a decent drive. Hell, Lorena Ochoa, at about 130lbs, regularly pounds them beyond 280 yards.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Nuts with ball games. I can still group a target at 200 yards, with a .303 brit. Oh yeah, thats with iron sights too! Now Tim is speaking my language. :) Think you could hit a golf ball in flight when it's hit with a baseball bat? :) But then again, that would depend on what stage of flight you're talking about, Tom, after it gets whacked? or while its suspended in front of you BEFORE it gets "whacked"? Let's say any where along it's flight path. I ask because I've seen it done - once by a guy with a .325 Winchester match rifle and another time by the same guy with a .357 revolver. I don't have the reflexes any more to even think about actually accomplishing the feat, but back in the day, I wish I had thought of trying it. :) Guys that can do that kind of thing (And I know they're out there) are way out of my league. This guy shoots a Baretta shotgun amazingly. he does a number on golf galls to, but they're not up to speed. http://youtube.com/watch?v=s13Y7SKrFls Sorry for not providing the link. OOPS! |
