Your childhood dream comes true and you are make it to the MLB. Would you rather be an Hall of Fame Pitcher or Hall of Fame Hitter? Why?

Chicks dig the long ball.

Hitter

Home Runs are more fun.

With those arms you couldn't extend, you'd be a .300 hitting, slap hitter :lol2:

Hitter, you get to play almost every day.

Or Pitcher, you only have to work once a week

and can get in 4 or 5 days of golf each week.

Trust me. I can knock it out of the park now and then.

This.

In all honesty, I'd be happy just to be in, period. However, if I had to choose, I'd go with pitcher. I think that group is still held to a little higher standard, in order to get in. So, I think it's probably a little more prestigious.

 

Some of the everyday players that they're looking at (or have recently looked at) could fall into the "good" or "very good" category...but, maybe not elite. (We've had several debates here on BGP about this.) And I think that can somewhat diminish that honor.

I'd go with pitcher. Anybody notice a trend?
