>There isn't much in any sport that is harder to do than to hit a baseball for a base hit against a pitcher whose job it is to see that you don't. Imagine in any sport where you could average 1 success out of ever three attempts and be considered excellent at your job.

And did you ever notice that for a golfer to hit a stationary ball, the crowd has to be absolutely silent, but a hitter is expected to hit a 98 mph fastball or a tricky curve with thousands of people screaming?
