MIAMI -- The Florida Marlins are looking for some footloose fat men. The National League team is creating an all-male, plus-size cheerleading squad to be dubbed the Manatees. Tryouts were scheduled for Sunday.

The team hopes to recruit seven to 10 tubby men to dance, cheer and jiggle during Friday and Saturday home games this season.

Real manatees, 1,200-pound mammals sometimes referred to as "sea cows," are not considered the most agile of creatures and often get caught in boat propellers.

Will they be tested for Huge Man Growth Hormone?

Wrong. Marlins want fat men who can swim.

They must be going with the Ron Jeremy theory: that your average Joe wants to see even schlumpier (to coin a term?) looking guys than they themselves—with hot babes.

I would have made a great Manatee. I’m a great dancer (if I do say so myself). Unfortunately, I’ve dropped about 40 lbs.
