Why Michael Couldn't Hit, and Other Tales of the Neurology of Sports http://www.amazon.com/Michael-Couldnt-Other-Neurology-Sports/dp/0716730014
This is pretty good book. It states that besides being a basketball player Jordan was just too tall to hit. The book notes that there are a lot of good hitters at 6-3, including the best ever. There are fewer, but still some at 6-4. After 6-4 it is basically Dave Winflield and some power guys that struck out a ton. Basally above 6-4 guys can't hit. It is finy that there is not a single guy above 6-4 on that list, but it fits the trend.
And of course listed height of athletes is less reliable than milage on use car ad. But guys don't generally lie about being shorter.
