Can Jesus hit a curveball?
An interesting debate from the classic movie "Major League"
Pedro Cerrano: Bats, they are sick. I cannot hit curveball. Straightball I hit it very much. Curveball, bats are afraid. I ask Jobu to come, take fear from bats. I offer him cigar, rum. He will come.
Eddie Harris: You know you might think about taking Jesus Christ as your savior instead of fooling around with all this stuff.
Jake Taylor: Harris.
Pedro Cerrano: Jesus, I like him very much, but he no help with curveball.
Eddie Harris: You trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?

I say no, Curveballs can be a tricky pitch and I don't think he's been putting in much time at the batting cage.

I think he can. I mean, if he can turn water into wine and walk on water, a curveball is no problem.
Now a knuckleball......

No. Sure, lots of people say he's infalible, but that's only because the Church has surpressed a lost gospel that was found in a cave in what is now Israel.
In this lost book of the bible, Jesus is playing stickball with some kids that used to be crippled (He healed them). One of the kids had a "wicked curveball" (and that's where the term "wicked" meaning "effective" comes from). Jesus couldn't hit it. Pitch after pitch, inning after inning, Jesus struck out. He got so upset that he smot him right there on the mound in the 7th. The seventh innning stretch started out as a remberence of this day--everyone used to get up and run screaming for the exits. But, as a society we've gotten soft, so now we just stand up and sing a cornball song instead. The Pope wrote that song to distract us from the real meaning. Anyway, if you don't believe me, you can google it.

Yes he can, but his father sent him into the game to sacrifice himself so the runner on third will get home. He will merely bunt the ball.
