Hitting a golfing hole-in-one is harder. But both golf and baseball are stultifying to watch.

I disagree.

#1. In golf, the ball is stationary. In baseball, it is coming at you at different speeds and moving up/down/in/out. In baseball once the ball is thrown, you have to make a decision to start the bat in milli-seconds. You can address the golf ball until the cows come home.

#2. You cannot get a hole in 1 on a par 4 hole...so the object is not always to "get a hole in one". All holes in 1 are a matter of luck...not skill. All homeruns are not lucky swings.

Didn't say it wasn't luck. I said it was more difficult. How many home runs does an average pro BB player rack up in a career vs how many hole-in-ones an average pro golfer gets? Besides, you were asserting baseball's athleticism, not the skill.

But it doesn't matter in the real world, anyway. Both pro baseball and pro golf (or any pro sports) are a waste of time. Spectator sports have replaced religion as the opiate of the masses.

I once got three consecutive holes in one. Of course, the hole in question was 80 feet wide and full of water.....
