When I think of Omar Vizquel, I think of a slick fielding shortstop spraying singles all around the diamond, what I don’t think of is the man using oil paints to paint nudes. But, he is a man of many talents it seems, in September for example, he had an exhibition in a San Francisco art gallery of some of his finer works. Now, I’m no art critic, but I think he’s not half bad, and any time you can have a skeleton hang on a lady’s leg you know you’ve made me happy.
What do y’all think, should he stick with the glove or does he have a lucrative career ahead of him after he hangs up the spikes?

The WWE Hall of Fame came a-callin’ for Mr. T wanting to place him in their illustrious hall, but he wanted no part in the “honor.”
Only the Germans could create a word like schadenfreude, and so it is little wonder that the country is atwitter with excitement for the 7th Annual Wok World Championship where various celebrities hurl themselves down a mile-long bobsled track sitting in metal woks. Able to reach speeds up to 60 mph, the one or 4-man teams use modified soup ladles on their feet to help steer the way. The path is fraught with danger regardless.
Ah Florida, fun in the sun, you go see spring training baseball in the afternoon and then head down to the marina and hang out on your sport yacht in the evening. Or at least, that’s what you WOULD do if you were Cincinnati Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo. After a grueling day of spring training, Bronson goes on-board his 48 foot yacht, the Nasty Hook to relax.
