Base running times.....60' bases?

By: TJ
Add to Mixx!

Surely, I have a different view point regarding those posted Pro times from
H to 1b as stated in response to
Scott R.

4.5 seconds from Home to 1b for a
Pro Baseball player is considered way below average and hence the nickname
"2 Ton Tony's" (or slow)

4.0 seconds from Home to 1b for a
Pro Baseball player is considered
in the average to slightly above
average range, and nicknamed as pro
speed material.

Under 3.9 seconds from Home to 1b for
aPro Baseball player is considered
in the above average to way above average and nicknamed as good pro speed.

Then there is the 'special' case
of those pro baseball players who
have earned the name:
"Speed Merchants" These are the
guys that great baseball stories are
spoken about. One in particular is:
'That guy was so fast, when he
turned the light switch before going to bed, he was in bed before the lights went out !

Mickey Mantle was timed @ 3.2 seconds
from H to 1b from the left side. Other 'merchants' include: Ricky Henderson, Deon Sanders and of course Willie Mays Hayes.

How about the pro baseball player
that has + speed, + power, + arm,
+ bat, & plus hands? What do they
call that? 115 Million for 9 yrs
in spring training, & and playing baseball for his childhood dream team!
