Dr. Thomas Graham, who is collaborating with the Red Sox on the treatment of David Ortiz, has examined the slugger's MRI results. Graham believes there is a "high percentage chance" that Ortiz will be able to avoid surgery and that he should be able to return to action and perform at the level of an elite athlete.

Hitting a baseball may be the hardest thing to do in any sport. JFK

I think Bowling 300 or throwing darts into a bullseye are incredibly hard, however its usually not done by Mr. Atlas. I am just saying athlete is fine, elite is a little funny.

I think the hardest thing in sports is to shoot all of the little glass bottles at the fair. It's freakin impossible! But you could win a cute little teddy bear if spend $100 to keep trying.
