Baseball No Match for Japanese Samurai

Most people who face the Big Unit Randy Johnson are terrified, if not for his imposing stature but for his impressive throwing arm. Of course, these people don’t have a sword, nor are they samurai trained in the art of slicing baseballs in half.

Due to his accuracy this samurai warrior could conceivably excel in the major leagues, though his game might benefit from replacing his sword with a bat.

The bisection of this poor, unsuspecting baseball is due to a Japanese game show inviting the samurai to give a demonstration of his talents. With the baseball being flung at him via pitching machine (the speed is unknown), his first attempt is met with contact but failed to cut the ball in half. The second go-around, however, proved samurais are crazy awesome.
