Compared to playing over 2600 games, playing through injuries, colds and flu's, it's a sniffle. He competes what, once pr twice per year?
have you ever had the flu Joe? you can't move, every muscle, joint and bone in your body aches, you have a big time fever, you sweat, you're weak, you have chills, just turning over in bed feels like the labors of Hercules, plus bodybuilding is different than baseball in that every little thing that happens to your body shows up onstage and affects your appearance which is first and foremost in bodybuilding but doesn't matter for shit in baseball, in baseball you can take 800mg. of Motrin and get through the game temporarily.
