Sounds like a Babe Ruth story plenty of hotdogs, drinks  and hoes then wake up and hit a homerun.

The Babe ate lots of those 64 oz porterhouses, like in those eating contests on tv, farked hookers until he got the nail, drank like a fish, and repeated until he *rightly* became a legend. What have you (or me) done?    ;D

Maybe, in the old days. Today's baseball player is a tall, athletic, pussy pounder like A-Rod

Lazy Dominicans aside, your typical star player is in the 6'2" to 6'4" 210-230 range, like Evan Longoria. So, IMO, the comment should be taken as a compliment.

3/5 ..cool RBI's are important will build a solid average. What were the other two miscarriages?

Funny how you think of the average-fatass American when it comes to people's perception ....but Put it this way, you send a text message to the "average hot looking  18 year old chick " youre coming to town this weekend with 2 friends one is a bodybuilder the other a baseball player" not only will she be interested in the ball player but all of her friends as well..  At least in the USA.

baseball players= most likely to actually make money at what they do
bodybuilder= narcissistic, boring and most likely to lose money at what they do

you do the math there

Depends on what position. Halle Berry noted this when she married David Justice. Let's just say, a pitcher is NOT worth a thousand words. And a batter will knock it out of the park.

Hahaha to the dopes here who think a Steve Namat, midget bodybuilder physique is more desirable than that of an A-Rod or Evan Longoria.

With the Namat physique, all you'll be attracting is this:
