Quote

the Baltimore Orioles management was reportedly concerned Tuesday after multiple players showed up to the first day of spring training in way too good of shape for baseball. “What are they up to? Are they planning to quit and go play tennis or basketball or something?” said manager Brandon Hyde,

Funny story ....Good to see that so many are committed to being ready that they showed up in great shape!

Is this thread for real or a Fake?  If it is real, I  cannot believe that no one else picked up on it as being the  strangest,  most bizarre  comment I have ever heard in any line of endeavor.  If that is managements big worry for 2021, they are overlooking  tons of other things.  Hopefully it was meant to be a big fat joke that went bad.

Founded in 1988.  Remebered them a bunch from 90s.  I'm pretty amused some still don't know it.  Although it's not as popular as it used to be.

Hopefully, this is one of those times the Onion turns out to be right.

Anyone remember the story about Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was Governor of Caulifornia seeking funding to destroy the Moon. LOL!

Eh not their best.  The string of words “Shortstop Ryan Mountcastle”  is pretty good satire though, I must admit.

That is funny! But a frightening mind picture I could have done without...
