That picture gives me hope that I too may one day be a big leaguer.

For shame. We don’t have enough fat guys in the big leagues.

The accompanying photo is hysterical.

Is that a bat shard, or the remnants of a meat kabob that Young just devoured?

No, that pic is of the time when he played for the Nationals, when he was known in the clubhouse by the nickname ‘ Rib Shack’. But man could he rake.

I saw Meathook hit 3 dingers on opening day for the Tigers some years back, always loved watching him play. Screw Venezuela, Cletus Diabetes will find another country to dominate with his surprising speed, giant hair and gargantuan smile.

Good Luck Big Fella.
