Some argue that hitting a baseball is the most difficult thing to achieve in all sports.
Kendrick Perkins probably agrees.
The former NBA star and current ESPN television personality visited the Boston Red Sox for batting practice at Fenway Park on Tuesday. Wearing a Red Sox cap and jersey, he made hitting a baseball appear like the most difficult thing in the world.
Perkins, who measures 6-foot-10 and weighed nearly 300 pounds during his playing days, hacked away at the lobbed-in balls. His bent over posture and broken stroke rarely connected with the ball; he frequently swung and missed altogether.

“I’m back in Bean Town, and I’m swinging for the fences!! “I’m thinking the Green Monster!!!” he said in a post on X. Of course, fans had fun at the expense of the former NBA player. Perkins, 39, was a first-round draft pick who played 14 years in the NBA, including a championship season with the Boston Celtics in 2008.
“This might be Rafael Devers,” quipped one respondent.
“You couldn’t hit the ball off a tee,” added another.
