There is proof now that baseball is boring. Even celebrated players, past and present...well maybe just past, cannot watch the game without snoozing. I can't say that I blame them as too much of the game is spent standing around. If a DH goes 0-4 does he even shower afterwards? You are playing left field with a right-handed ground ball pitcher on the mound, what do you do to stay focused? Yeah, I know greenies. But they are now banned. What if you are the Pittsburgh Pirates left fielder and there are 3,000 folks in the park? Well, at least you would get plenty of action with opposing batters lining plenty of balls your way.
No one is falling asleep at a football game. Keith Jackson is twice as old as Keith Hernandez and he could still call Washington State games if needed. And if he started to doze, the band could just play a little louder.
And, yes, the main reason I posted this was to use this ridiculous photo of Keith Hernandez. As for Griffey, Jr., whether or not he did take a nap during a game is no big deal. Just hang them up soon.
