Baseball. The only sport where a professional fat guy (DH/first baseman) needs to take steroids so he can be gushed over for hitting a ball 3.5 times out of ten. Baseball, where spitting in a dug out makes you look tough. Where the managers wear uniforms for some inexplicable reason. Baseball: my least favorite sport in the world. No sport has more questionable injuries, cheating, and heaps of praise for marginally athletic feats than the former American past time. For the sake of argument, here are just a few examples that I found on the net (mostly here) about the general pansiness of baseball and their players:
•Sammy Sosa, muscular Home-Run hitter, misses games because he hurt his back sneezing.
•Wade Boggs, Hall-of-Famer, misses games because he strained his back while putting cowboy boots on.
•Kevin Mitchell was late reporting to spring training because he hurt himself eating a microwavable doughnut.
•MVP Jeff Kent broke his wrist… while washing a car at a self-serve car wash.
•Marty Cordova burned his face in a tanning bed and had to miss a game.
•Glenallen Hill fell out of his bed, crashing into a glass table, while having a nightmare about spiders.
Yes I am from Chicago. No I am not a Cubs fan. The Sox can rot as well for all I care.
