    Well of course he struck out. Look at the size of him. He's as big as a mountain! The baseball must look like a pea to him. Imagine trying to hit something that small with a gigantic bat. He deserves our pity, not our scorn.

    I hope this kid finds his swing back and succeeds in the future but right now a lot of naysayers are holding a giant 'I told you so' sign. Who was the astute editor at SI that approved the original article and thought it was not a stretch to compare a high school baseball player to LeBron?

    If I recall, the first Chosen One struggled for 40 days and 40 nights.

    Are you kidding me?! He had an impossibly non-fractional 324.000 PFOFA (People Fed Over Fish Available).

    he performed the miracle of turning five at-bats into five outs.

    This guy has a long way to go if he thinks he can be a pro ballplayer, it only takes Luis Castillo 3 ABs to do that.

    Even Chosen People slump from time to time.

    1939-1945 was a particularly bad slump for the Chosen People.

    He is far too long on the back end

    At least he's still got a career in porn ahead of him.

    I feel bad for the dad actually. He had to play on a team with Jordan, Pippen and Rodman, so I'm sure he just likes the attention now.

    Seriously, rooting for this kid to get hurt is not cool. However, feel free to wish the trials of Job upon his dad.

    @UpstateUnderdog: Houston Cougars have announced the position of Head Whackjob Father is open to new applicants. Seems like a no-brainer.
