So, Babe Ruth was a superb HR hitter because he was a superior athlete.
Gee, I coulda told you that.
But most of the tests focused on hand-eye and hand-ear coordination.
These are tests which women typically outscore men on.
Its a good thing that they do not often have the upper body strength of men.
We'd all be in more trouble than we already are!
