Perhaps that's because running at 20+ mph and diving onto a high-friction track could lead to injury??? Sprinters actually do lean forward at the tape to gain an advantage over the option of standing straight up.

Nope, just some jagoff who tried to leap for the ball and demolished some kid.

This. A thousand times this.

That was exactly my reaction! They have got to be the thinnest skinned drama queens playing sports. Football players are trying not to die or grow senile before they are 50 from being slammed in the head too much, and baseball players are THIS pissed at a little "peaking" at a hr and the weakest loogie hocking I have…

Sometimes I think that pro baseball players are some of the whiniest bitches in all of professional sports. Yes, even worse than the floppers in soccer.

death penalty

Although I disagree, those were some atrocious ball calls on the last 2 at bats. I'm pretty sure the 2 called strikes on the last at bat were farther from the strike zone than any of those balls.

I really don't see how he is being a douche, more so, commenting on the absurdity of what gets you recognition in sports, and our "what have you done for me lately" culture.

That his wife's name is now Petit is one of those ironical things.
