Batting Practice: Just As Helpful As...

[Dosho]

Hi all,

Just saw this story today where a Major League Baseball player describes his belief that batting practice helps him just as much as, well, you read it.

I completely agree...it isn't at all helpful...except that it is.

I find it a little curious he had so ready the "staring at the wall for an hour" analogy. Baseball and zen: Yes.

We do the practice because we do the practice :-)

Sounds exactly right.
