I was watching some of the Red Sox versus Rangers game last night on ESPN. I noticed David " Big Papi " Ortiz hit a couple of home runs, and each time he came up to bat, I can see his big belly shaking up and down. Now obviously, he is fat but also one heck of an athlete.
Which brings me to both Carlos " El Caballo " Lee and Lance " Big Puma " Berkman. Just like Big Papi, they both seem to shake in the belly area.
But are they just big guys with big bones, or are they fat also ?
And is it just me, or do fat baseball players usually make for good hitters ? Wasn't the best baseball player of All-Time ( Babe Ruth ) a big fat guy who ate ribs and drank beer ?
Maybe it's just me but I've never seen a fat guy become a bad baseball player.
And maybe I'm totally wrong and just seeing things. Maybe these players aren't fat, they just look big ....

I apologize for the Tim Purpura photo. I couldn't resist posting it when I saw it.
The point I am trying to make is what exactly does a fat baseball player look like ? Are any of these men fat or do they just look big ?
