Building The Perfect Baseball Player
In the movie Napoleon Dynamite, the title character (played by Jon Heder) draws up a fictional animal he calls a “liger,” which is a lion and tiger mixed and is “bred for its skills in magic.”
Using this as our motivation, we decided to create the perfect baseball player by utilizing the traits and abilities of Major League Baseball’s current superstars to assist us.
From the cerebral to the physical, we breakdown the structure of our superhuman man-beast part by part. Enjoy.
