  It still cracks me up that CC got skinny AFTER he retired. I love that freaking dude, he&apos;s a national treasure.

  I&apos;ve never thought about the existence of an underground cheesesteak eating contest, but now that I know it is out there, there&apos;s nothing I want to be a part of more.

  Bartolo truly lives the American dream. Immigrated here like our forefathers, loves Mcdonald’s and Taco Bell, and made a living off of America’s past time😂😂😂 True American hero at work

  In short:<br><br>If you&apos;re heavy, you hit the ball harder, which is kinda the most important thing with baseball these days.<br><br>If you&apos;re heavy, you suffer fewer arm injuries because you pitch with your mass, not your arm.<br><br>As pointed out in some other comments, some of these numbers are misleading because they look at weight rather than the way the weight is carried. Jumbo Diaz and Aaron Judge should not fall into the same category.

  Big Sexy getting offered 50 grand to cut weight, getting FATTER instead, and then winning a Cy Young, is one of the most hilarious developments in baseball. Going on to become EVEN FATTER and be the MLBs oldest to hit their first HR is the cherry on top.

  Pablo avoiding that tag while doing the splits is a thing of beauty. That statue belongs in the Big man Hof.

  I LOVE baseball because the health grind obsession and body shaming doesn&apos;t apply. As John Kruk said in Sports Illustrated like 30yrs ago when interviewer tried to shame him for his unhealthy habits as an athlete, and he repsonded &quot;i ain&apos;t no athlete, I&apos;m a baseball player.&quot; He had a monster season.

  You are onto something. Pablo Sanchez was always the best Backyard Sports athlete.

  This always made sense to me. Every time in Little League with a fat kid stepped up to the plate we always took five steps back

  To be fair, most of the “overweight” players are not actually overweight, they just are big guys with lots of muscle mass, look at Kris Bryant or Bryce Harper who were listed as “overweight” its pretty clear theyre not actually overweight, just shredded and 6’3-6’5
