Security Guard Challenges MLB All-Stars

Stanley Anderson in the Batting Cages
Many of us hit the batting cages and pretend we are like MLB All-Stars Bryce Harper or Mike Trout and could only dream about competing in the MLB.  Stanley Anderson believes he is that guy that could be like Harper or Trout,  the normal distance between the mound and home plate in 60 feet 6 inches well Stanley stands 22 to 17 feet from the pitching machine.  When Stanley stands that close to the pitching machine the ball travels at 266mph when he is standing 17 feet away from the machine.  Stanley called out MLB All-Stars: Bryce Harper, Mike Trout, and Miguel Cabrera to out hit him at that distance.  Who knows if the All-Stars will accept his challenge, but I know next time I'm at the batting cages I'll stand the normal 60 feet 6 inches away and enjoy the cages that way.

  1. Wow! This was very interesting to read. I wonder if the All-Stars will accept his challenge because that will be very interesting to watch and hear about.
