AJ Pierzynski, Scott Podsednik, Jermaine Dye, Jon Garland, Ozzie Guillen, Tim Raines, Harold Baines and Kenny Williams participated in a skills competition for an upcoming episode of the Golf Channel's Big Break. The results of the competition are a closely guarded secret, but I can tell you that the players beat the coaches in the signature glass breaking competition.
Cinderella story. Outta nowhere. A former right fielder...
Reality shows appear to be the new 'I'm going to Disney World' moment for World Series Champions. Last year the Red Sox filmed an episode of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy during spring training.
Eventually the 25th man on the defending World Champs will be determined by popular vote after they are forced to eat pig testicles, sing Celine Dion songs, and spit sunflower seeds for both distance and accuracy. The final decision will be made live on TV, with the last player cut handing in his jock strap and forced to walk to the team's AAA affiliate. The winner will receive a spot on the roster for the entire year, even if he proves that he sucks throughout the course of the year. Come to think of it, Timo Perez may have been the winner in an un-aired pilot of this show.
