Although we technically call anyone who plays professional baseball an “athlete,” to be perfectly frank, there
are many hefty players who simply… aren’t. Would it be possible to make an entire team of players who could do
the world a favor by wearing a girdle? We dared to find out. Inspired by comments made by an ESPN Radio show host, manualbuzzer.com
now presents the 2006 Major League Baseball All-Girdle Team.
