Wild Thing, Jake Taylor and more

Major League. What a classic flick.  I’m watching one of my all time favorites here (and the reason that I’m a life long Indians fan) and wondering were some of the great styles of baseball went to.  Today, big leaguers wear pajama pants and baggy tops. Back then, guys wore high socks and still had there caps on under there helmets.  Stirrups were still the rage. Where has the classic look gone?  I was watching the MLB network at work (don’t tell my boss) and saw that one of the old timers started a league where the classic style are still worn.  Don’t get me wrong, I love those loose pants. I wear them when I play fast pitch softball. But I think that players of today should have a little more respect for the history of the game.  In essence, baseball unis haven’t changed that much.  Pants, shirt, socks and cleats.  But now we have dudes like ManRam who look like they’re getting ready to cuddle up with there lady out there swinging the bat! 

Now there are a few players out there who are rocking the old styles.  Alex Rodriguez (love him or hate him), Ubaldo Jimenez and Seth Smith are the few that come to my mind when it comes to classic baseball style.  When I played in the wood bat league in Denver and in Italy I wore the classic high socks.  I just wish more players would get with it.  Jeter has some classic style and he makes it his own, (Congrats on tying up with the Iron Man.  Couldn’t have happened to a classier player!) 
In the end, most players are gonna do what works for them and I really can’t argue with that.  After all, they are the ones making the big bucks to swing the bat while I sit here and make nothing to write about it.  Here is to the Rox making the playoffs and looking good while doing it!

The A-Rod Mess

A-Rod has been at the center of controversy
since the release of the supposedly anonymous test
results were released.  Now there is someone saying that
he used in high school because he gain about 25 pounds of
muscle between his sophomore and junior years.
 This is the most ridiculous claim I have ever
heard.  Just because a dude gains some weight,
especially in high school, doesn’t mean that he is using the
juice.  From the time that I entered the Air Force, till
four months later, I gained forty pounds.
  Almost all of that was muscle, so are you gonna
say that I was hitting the roids?  No, lets give this
guy a chance to defend himself and let the investigation take
its course.
