JUST IN TIME FOR THE HOLIDAYS: SOMETHING TO PROTECT YOUR TESTES

By Tony Riazzi

Through scandals and strikes, through gambling and doping, there is baseball. Baseball endures, somehow, some way, through it all. Despite the release last week of a 409 page report detailing the use of steroids and Human Growth Hormone by 88 current and former Major Leaguers, America's pastime continues to be more popular than ever before. The question is why? Why do people continue to come back? Is it the history or the pageantry of the game that draws us in? No. The answer is that baseball's fanbase, more than any other sport, is a fusion of nerds, who love the numbers, and rednecks, who love to get drunk, take off their shirts and beat up the opposing team's first base coach (see our friend to the right.) So there is always something for everybody. And sometimes, when you combine these facts with every baseball player's downtime and every man's supreme interest in protecting his own gonads at all costs, you get a video like the one below- a perfect storm of what baseball truly is and why it will always survive. Enjoy:




The Nutty Buddy makes a great holiday gift idea! Gentile or Jew, it doesn't matter. Perfect for that special someone with a pair of testicles. Be sure to buy two or three!
