Major League Baseball's All-Star game came to Detroit in 2005. MLB sponsored many events for fans - my favorite being the pitching simulator. I got to pick 1 out of about 20 different pitchers to bat against (I choose to bat against Pedro Martinez). Pedro got the first pitch by me, but I tagged the second pitch for a home run ;-) This was sweet vindication, because earlier in the day Jeremy Bonderman struck me out. The pitching simulators are much harder to hit against than they appear.
This is seriously cool.
What other pitchers did they have there?

That was a nice blast! I have hit against these simulators and they can be hard. They adjust the speed to either slow, medium, or wicked fast. And Pedro in this video was throwing wicked fast! I can barely touch the ball on the fast setting. But I smoked Roger Clemens on the slow! If Roger wasn't on the juice, I would've owned him.
