Stop acting like competitive eating is not a sport.

Hopefully he's happy and he managed to keep and invest some part of his $23M in career earnings.  But that's not a healthy weight.

It sure isn't a healthy weight.

I'm betting he doesn't have much of his career earnings left.  Anyway, he'd probably be our best starter behind Means right now.  I bet he could put up Harvey numbers, at least.

I was going to say that his money may go a lot further in Aruba, but that's apparently not the case.

Aruba is 9.7% more expensive than United States.

I don't think it's uncommon that an island, especially one that small, is more expensive than the mainlands.  If you can't get things on the island naturally such as food, it needs to be imported, driving the prices up.  I don't know much about Aruba but I'm assuming the main thing that drives the economy is tourism.

I'd be up for it. Do the Orioles make an XXXL size jersey?

It is the largest driver of their economy. And you're 100% right about small islands often having higher costs for groceries, etc. for the reason mentioned.

This is true. Went to Turks & Caicos a couple years ago and grocery prices were like double compared to the USA. And it has to do with almost every good being imported. Alaska is similar with prices of groceries being higher because everything has to be brought in from a great distance.

Have a 1996 throwback uniform day and find an old David Wells jersey.

My exact question when I saw that and noting no one had made it clear. I really am not sure. 

 

Btw, what a weird day. Daniel Cabrera and Sidney Ponson are both titles of threads on the board here in July 2021
