You know I was definitely bored since I watched a few minutes of baseball on TV. If you want a sedative, watch baseball. I also noticed that you don't have to be in any kind of decent shape to play baseball. You can have a gut and eat chicken wings all day and still be a revered baseball player.
It is one thing to be "stocky" but many of these dudes are just fat. It seems the weight gives them leverage to hit home runs. Heck, you only have to sprint 50 feet every couple of hours to a base so I understand why they are out of shape.
I use to play baseball when I was in elementary school and I was the catcher. We warmed up but never worked out too strenuously.
The picture above is of Prince Fielder. I am not hating but it just gives me inspiration if this IT job doesn't work out I can grab a couple pints of beer and tryout for the Oakland A's.

Hi,
Interesting post. I have been wondering this issue, so thanks for sharing. I will definitely be coming back to your blog.

is that a spammer?!?!?
But yeah dudes like big papi and stuff like that all have that larry holmes syndrome... But they sure can smack the hell out of those balls and waddle around four bases though!
I want to be a fat baseball player i my next life. Really. I do. I want to get paid millions of dollars and eat hot dogs all day.
There was a time (early-90's to early-00's) when baseball players were athletic and strong looking. Gone are the days of Jose Canseco, Daryl Strawberry, Barry Bonds, Bo Jackson, Deion Sanders, Mark Maqwire, and Sammy Sosa. Granted these guys were a bit "enhanced", they were still what pro athletics is about: looking like a damn pro athlete! Most of the cats today in pro baseball are no more than pizza and beer mongers and you wouldn't know they were "athletes" unless you saw them on tv swinging a bat. At least football players look like football players!
I kind of noticed that too. Why can't baseball players look like Beckham? Then watching the sport can have some attractions. Watching middle-age, pot-bellied, bearded men holding long sticks just don't do it for me.
Babe Ruth is one perfect example. You made a good point. I didn't really notice that until you pointed it out. But, hey, what about sumo wrestling?
