Aiight... Its time for the "how far can you..." sporting thread

[narcotic]

1. How far can you (have you ever) hit a baseball with a wooden bat?
2. How far can you pass a football.

My answers: (will be revealed later...)
1. ***ft. a couple of times, on regular basis (if I get nice pitches) then around ***ft.
2. **ish, though if I just throw it strait down without having to be accurate probably another 10 yards.

 

[Jhill]

Whatever you say later + 5 yards or 15 feet.

 

[spidey07]

1. Deep center field, if I catch it absolutely perfectly.
2. Have no idea, maybe 40 yards at best in the air. Would be catchable. Possibly longer after tossing with the girl tonight.

 

[narcotic]

Anyway...

My answers:
1. 300ft. a couple of times, on regular basis (if I get nice pitches) then around 250ft.
2. 55ish, though if I just throw it strait down without having to be accurate probably another 10 yards.

*bump* I'm curious...

 

[daveymark]

I'm not sure, but my penis is pretty big

How far can you ride a bicycle in one day? My personal best is 100 miles.

 

[pyonir]

About 38 feet with a wooden bat
I'm pretty sure i can get it about 8 yards down field without a problem.

 

[clamum]

1. Probably not real far... plus that depends on even hitting the damn thing.
2. No idea.

38 miles off road, 5000+ of elevation gain, and rocky. About 8 hours. About a road century

I played a year of professional baseball at the minor league level.
I have hit numerous baseballs over a 405 foot fence (game and bp). How far I have ever hit one, I have no idea.

I have no idea how far I can throw a football.
I used to play 50 yard catch prior to baseball games to loosen up (if you can throw a spiral that far with a football, then you have good form for throwing a baseball).

Swedish baseballs are juiced, let's be honest here.

As for myself, I hit a baseball 275 feet in high school(just baaarely cleared the fence in Left), and it took a ball coming in at about ~80 MPH to do it. Subtract 20 feet for wood maybe?

Football tossing.. I throw a wounded, retarded duck every time. No idea. 25 yards, tops. I clocked a baseball at 83 MPH at age 17, but I can't throw a football for crap.

Throwing 80+ in high school is awesome, though these days I don't know what to expect anymore since on the little league world series a couple of weeks ago there were pitchers throwing 70+ :shocked:

Off road, 150+ miles, 19,000+ of elevation gain. I was done with bicycling for a while after that.

I dunno about football/baseball things. I haven't touched either in years and years.

My wife, as unathletic as she is, throws a football better than you.

 

[anxi80]

i could probably throw a football over a range of mountains. if coach woulda put me in fourth quarter, we would've been state champions. no doubt in my mind.

 

[imported_LoKe]

Don't know, don't care.

e-penis unchanged.

I know a few highschool/college pitchers that are the same way. they can throw a baseball great. but a football? pfft even i can throw better then they could.


I hit a couple homeruns in highschool. not sure the distance but i was s hocked i did it.

with a football i can't throw far. but i was far more accurate then anyone else was on the team (includeing the starting QB). but not being able to throw a 40 yard pass kinda makes it worthless hah!
