Must not drink Sprite.
Los Angeles Dodger 1B Adrian Gonzalez reportedly has a stiff lower back from walking around sightseeing. Raise your hands if this excuse would earn you a day off of work. Anybody? This is exactly why some folks have a hard time respecting baseball players, suck it up buttercup!
The Miami Marlins posted a picture of Derek Dietrich and his nasty bruise after taking a baseball to the face on field. Cinncinati Red Aroldis Chapman only wishes he was that lucky.
You should be as worried about Derek Jeter’s spring training average of .132 in 41 plate appearances this spring as you are excited about Dustin Ackley's spring training average of .457 in 46 plate appearances.
