Famous Baseball Hitters is a much sought after honor by most all baseball players which have suited up in their baseball uniform and laced on his spikes to play the game of baseball.

In the world of military and politics there has always been the age old question, "Are Leaders born as Leaders or are they made into Leaders?
The same quetion might equally apply to the great and the famous baseball hitters are they born with enough natural ability to be hitters or are they made into hitting leaders and legends?
The art of hitting a baseball, and becoming proficient to consistently garner safe hits or to blast the ball with power as a long ball hitter, is no easy task. It is surely a fine line between that natural ability and the learned practiced skill.
"Ole shoe don't look to me for the answer to that question about famous baseball hitters being born or taught to master this hitting jig?"
" I will offer this bit for you because I have been banged around by the best of the best. It appears by my observation through history it is predominantly a natural born ability potential by most with good eyesight, strong flexible muscle and bone structure, superb body motion and rhythm, a sense of timed reflexes and adding in a smathering of good instructional natural mechanics for skills of hitting."
