A lot of boys in America want to be baseball players when they grow up.
Is it the fame?
Is it the fortune?
Is it the women?
Is it the competition?
Or is it the fringe benefit of being able to grab your crotch in front of 40,000 people every day without suffering any consequences?
All of the above. Let’s go around the majors and find some guys playing ball.
Jim Thome (then with the Indians) was caught swinging two bats in the on deck circle while wearing one of those terrible “turn ahead the clock” jerseys a while back.
Meanwhile, some member of the New York Mets holds his member.
Brandon Inge might not get much playing time in Detroit behind new Tiger 3B Miguel Cabrera – but now he’ll have lots of time to play with something else in the dugout.
And here’s a grab of the Cubbie Blue … balls. They’re probably pretty blue after 99 years.
Holy crap – Kyle Farnsworth of the Yankees is holding three balls out on the mound!!
Marco Scutaro (A’s) has forgotten to turn his head and cough.
Mark Teixeira and Jorge Posada got caught scrambling the huevos.
What’s really weird in baseball is that sometimes your own crotch isn’t good enough.
Jim Edmonds (#15 of the Cardinals) and Cesar Izturis (in the blue jacket) demonstrate on their teammates.
Crotch grabbing isn’t limited to baseball … or even America for that matter.
English soccer superstar David Beckham and Pakistani cricket player Inzamam-ul-Haq have their hands full, too.
But slugger Alex Rodriguez is a serial crotch grabber. Here’s two instances of A-Rod playing ball while playing ball with the Texas Rangers.
Is it any wonder he plays for a team called the Yankees?
Here’s a famous A-Rod grab while visiting with Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen.
Guillen’s been around baseball long enough that it doesn’t even faze him.
Mind you, I have no idea what what would faze Ozzie Guillen – other than Jay Mariotti in his kitchen.

And sometimes you get to grab someone else’s crotch:

Two crotch grabbers from MLB’s past.
First, Norm Charlton, who seemingly had to adjust himself 3 times before each pitch.
What was he, a horse with special needs??
Second, Jim Presley from the Seattle Mariners.
My mom would giggle whenever he adjusted himself before each swing. The things you remember from the bad days of the Pepsi Junior Mariners.

The cricket player is Inzamam-ul-Haq, if you care.

Thanks Matt!
I added ul-Haq’s name in the post.

Hey Richie…great crotch grabs! Can’t tell for sure, but it also looks like the catcher in the Chuck Finley pic may be making his own adjustment…either a wedgie or maybe missing the feel of a hot cup rubbing against his backside.

Just doing what comes naturally! Maybe you just need a good feel before that ball is thrown. For some guys it may be the superstitious cross that you see some religious players do for good luck.
