The halfway point of the season has arrived and there are of course many questions to be answered before the SABL playoffs begin, and a new champion is crowned(or maybe a back to back winner).
In the dog days of summer one's mind sometimes wanders in the middle of blowouts or even during an at bat. Last weekend while coaching third I had a light hearted conversation with the third baseman of the opposing team. I went something like this.
Me - "Man your left fielder Darrell is real intimidating. He has a body of gold and just scares the crap out of the opposing fans and pitchers ever time he comes up. I think he might be in the same category as John Wilson who I hear from opposing fans just scare the hell out of them"
Third Baseman - "I am not real comfortable with this conversation so close to Pride dude"
Me - "I am comfortable with my hetrosexuality but this is a question that has to be answered"
And so it started
So for the first annual GQ SABL Poll here is the question:
"Which SABL player looks the best in a uniform"? He does not have to be a good player. He just has to look like his uniform has been sitting in plastic in between games, and simply looks like a major league player. Eye black is a plus, and being on the juice would also help.
I will help out by giving you 10 candidates from the league. You can also write in a player if you prefer.
1. John Wilson - Mets
2. Darrell Eailey - Red Sox
3. Andrew Ryder - Dragons
4. Adam Morton - Jays
5. Rob Hehir - Astros
6. Brennan Corey - Royals
7. Jason Forbes - Psychos
8. Paul Harrison - Reds
9. Matt Steele - White Sox
10. Anthony Warren - Goats
If you are too homophobic to respond then ask your wife or girlfriend who they think should win. Send all votes to info@sabl.ca. I will tabulate and announce the winner by the long weekend in August
