I think read an article in SI about this. But it had more to do with football players. And specificly college players that end their playing careers in college.

It’s pretty easy. They’re burning as many calories, but continue eating the same amount of food.

Some colleges put their players through a nutrition adjustment seminar before leaving the program.

Hope he gets well. He and Boggs were hitting machines. But man, Gwynn had to be about 240 when he was near the end of his career.

No one spoiled pitches like gwynn. It was awesome watching him fight off pitches, then looping one over the shortstops head to drive in a run. Awesome at bats. Standing at his statue and looking towards the plate is one of the coolest views in the League.
