​RAISING A HITTER:

​BASEBALL/SOFTBALL EXPERT INSTRUCTION

The immortal Ted Williams, a hitter so SuperHuman that his nickname was "The Greatest Hitter Who Ever Lived," said that hitting a baseball was the most difficult feat in sports.

Challenge yourself and compound that difficulty factor by at least 600%: Hit a much smaller target than a baseball or a softball.

For instance, select a minute, microscopic Navy Bean, as small as the tiniest pebble. Then, hit it at least 12 consecutive times. Prove your prowess and make it on the Precision Hitting Wall of Fame.

Here's the scale of greatness, Precision Hitting Level One:

12 consecutive hits = Single A Minor League status
18 consecutive hits = Double AA Minor League status
24 consecutive hits = Triple AAA Minor League status
30 consecutive hits = Major League utility player level
36 consecutive hits = Major League full-time starter status
42 consecutive hits = Major League All-Star status
48 consecutive hits = Hall of Fame distinction
54 consecutive hits = Legendary status
