I'm curious what Major League Slow Pitch Softball would look like. Would your Judges and Pujolses still be the best hitters in the league? -- nm - Ender Sep 30, 19:05 7
- Realistically, no…just about everyone could hit it out so it’d be more the guys who can place a ball wherever once the Homer-limit is reached. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 30, 19:16 5
