Concerning the on-air debate about Superman playing baseball, all he has to do is bunt. He can run about twice as fast as anyone can throw (faster than a speeding bullet). Of course once on base, he can steal his way around the bases. As good as that is, he would be the best defensive player ever. I am not sure if you could actually get a hit with him fielding.
