What would you call it if he came up and struck out? A typical at bat for him. Obviously the player isn't going to hit a HR every time. He's human. But I don't see how, in that scenario, you can't see how momentum can be a factor. Bottom line... baseball players are human. People are affected by momentum. As a result, so are baseball players. I still find it funny that some people believe mometum is possible in basketball and not baseball. It's stupid. I find it funny that you see some sort of connection between basketball and baseball. Not all sports are the same. Is there momentum in anything that is some sort of competitive activity? If you don't believe in momentum, then you don't. Baseball vs basketball doesn't make sense. Hell momentum probably exists in chess if a surprise move gets in the oppositions head. No I do belive in momentum. I was laughing at the people who believe it exsits in Basketball and not Baseball. It's senseless.
