You've obviously never been in a slump...

Obviously you've never slid into home plate with shorts on........
I would just LOVE it if Barry Bonds hits #714 with a pink bat... 50 years from now my great-grandkids will watch the video of that at bat and say "I didn't now Bonds was such a pansy".
I thought this article was going to be about Barney Frank.
I am a woman, a mother, and a grandmother. I find this entire charade to be the most offensive thing I've seen in a long time.
Now, apparently, we can not even have one day off from activism. This "pink bat/bleeding heart" BS is a twofer...let's stick it to Mother's Day and Major League Baseball at the same time.
You men better wake up and start fighting back. MLB is already diseased by greed and corruption, Barry Bonds is a fake and a criminal, and a liar, too. Here in 2006, in this rotten culture that glorifies the worst in America, there certainly is CRYING IN BASEBALL. I am a lifelong fan, and I could just weep. Bud Selig and the rest of the "awareness" Lefties can take those pink bats and jam them!
Doesn't Edgar Renteria with the Braves use a pink bat in every game?
It's a good cause, but..........
This opens things up. What about baseball supporting AIDS research, or other things?
It's a good cause to support breast cancer research, but how will baseball pick and choose what to support now that they have opened this pandora's box?
"It's a good cause to support breast cancer research, but how will baseball pick and choose what to support..."
Isn't the "boys and girls club of America" what MLB supports consistently?
I can think of a lot of adjectives for Manny but rugged is not one of them.
Punk maybe. Emptyheaded perhaps. Selfish for sure. But rugged? When I hear rugged I think Marlboro Man, Brawny paper towel guy etc...Definitely not corn-rowed, inner city baseball player.
Oh, pullleeeaaassseee.....silly boys....caught up in the Hallmarkization of America....
It's a good cause to support breast cancer research, but how will baseball pick and choose what to support now that they have opened this pandora's box?
And when are the LPGA or the WNBA going to hold their testicular cancer fundraisers?
I am so glad you said this, my first reaction was "why don't I like this idea"?
Please give us a day at the park without reminding us we are all gonna DIE!!!!!!

Baseball supports a lot of charities - this is just a different promotion.

he isn't an "inner city baseball player" either
Washington Heights, NYC is certainly “inner city” and Manny was a baseball player there growing up.
I would think that would qualify him, as much as anybody else, as an “inner city baseball player.”
No he lived in the Dominican for the first 13 years of his life...
He just barely even lived in NYC before he was picked up by the Major Leagues....
You want a true inner-city player, look at Carl Everett....
By definition, "an inner city baseball player."
