Baseball Babylon

With major league baseball season soon to start, let's hear some gossip about the players, past and present.

I guess you didn't get the edict from the other thread: gay men don't like sports. So, let's dish about Priscilla, girls.

I wish there were some real dish on current baseball players. That's something I'd like to discuss. But alas, there is little reliable leakage. Heck, it's even impossible to get shirtless pictures of the most desirable guys.

One story that sticks with me is Joey Votto being gay. No proof of course, but the speculation has been there for a few years now. He needed to take time off a few years back. The story is that he had a sort of breakdown over the death of his father. But there has also been rumbling that he had to also deal with his sexuality. %0D %0D It's a fun story to believe because he's a great player and seems like a cool guy, but there really doesn't seem to be anything to support it.

Watching "Celebrity Apprentice" with Jose Conseco made me think, didn't he name players when asked about who used steroids in the major league? If so, who did he rat out?

by Anonymousreply 10March 22, 2011 7:26 PM

In his book, Canseco said that in his experience 85% of major league players were using. The better-known players that he specifically named in the book are Rafael Palmeiro, Joan Gonzalez, Ivan Rodriquez, Jason Giambi, and Mark McGwire. %0D %0D Even though McGwire has finally come out on the issue, I believe he still denies Canseco's stories of those two sneaking into restroom stalls together to shoot each other up.

R30 here. R35 is correct about the chronology but nope, I actually don't like the extreme body builder type, like what Jason Giambi and Barry Bonds looked like on roids. I just felt that the players happened to be better looking on average a few years ago. Remember Tim Hudson, Mark Mulder, and Barry Zito all on the Oakland A's? There were other hot players on that same early 00s A's team as well.

by Anonymousreply 39April 2, 2011 4:30 AM

R12, I don't know anything about Jim Palmer but add me to the list of people interested in dirt on him. All I've heard about him is that he has a huge ego and isn't especially kind.

Speaking of former Orioles though, DL favorite Brady Anderson is definitely bisexual, not that that hasn't been confirmed before. There were rumors about him and Scott Erickson back in the day, also a former Oriole. (Erickson got around a lot with women too.)

Frankly, there doesn't seem to be much gay gossip about MLB players. I always keep my eye out for it but all people usually have to offer is some story usually involving Jeter and Arod or Posada and none of it sounds especially credible. There have to be gay players and I wish more people would leak info.

Comments on 2 previous posts%0D %0D R40 I was always a Brady Anderson fan and hoped that someday he would either come out or be exposed (credibly) as gay or bi. Still no such luck. But I wonder about his dick and nutsack. I suppose it's arguable, but most people believe that he was one of the steroid pumpers. So while he was a physical specimen in shorts, I'd like to know what the roids did to the package inside his shorts.%0D %0D R30 I agree that there are only a handful of current baseball players that strike me as great looking. But when you look at the line-ups of the college teams, it's one hot stud after another. It seem like not enough of those players are good enough to make it onto major league teams. It's a shame for those of us who enjoy the game, but also like a little eye candy.

by Anonymousreply 50April 3, 2011 3:24 AM

R46, re: Brady Anderson, as of a couple of years ago, he was still hoping to be seen by the public as straight. A couple of years ago, TMZ put up a video on its site documenting how Brady was trying to hook up with a TMZ's staffer's (female) friend. I have to assume that this was all PR on Brady's part, since there's no reason for TMZ to care about Brady Anderson. Maybe he thought he was going to make a run for it in movies/TV a few years ago (pure speculation on my part).

I know this has been mentioned on DL many-a-time before, but it was essentially an open secret in Baltimore that he was living with a little-known player for some of the late 90s named Rene Gonzales. He slept with women during this time as well though. He's one of the few men around I'd guess is truly bisexual.

I don't think there's anyone around who believes Brady didn't use steroids. Even Jim Palmer nonchalantly mentioned Brady having used a few years ago. I don't think Palmer would say that if he didn't have very good reason to believe (i.e. inside knowledge) that Brady used. Brady sure was hot though. A few of the Orioles in the mid/late 90s were attractive: Scott Erickson, Brady, Mike Bordick, Mike Mussina, and even Jimmy Key.

R48, Eric Chavez definitely does deserve to be included on the list of hot A's from the early 2000s. He's on the Yankees now. He supposedly got around a LOT (with women, unfortunately) -- not sure if that's still the case. Bobby Crosby from that team was cute too.

If anyone has some gay gossip, please spill. The only thing I can think of is that pitcher Rich Harden has had rumors about him swirling for years but I've never heard anything specific or anything that struck me as especially credible. Anyone else heard the same?

Brady seems like he is all over the place with men AND women. He had them both coming and going out of his apartment in Baltimore for years. He was supposed to have dated a model named Ingrid, who went on to marry Jeff Gordon, the race car driver also rumored to be into guys. (professional beard?)

He also was supposed to be dating tennis player Amanda Coetzler - I remember reading that she wouldn't talk about their relationship for some reason.

Brady is rumored to have had a few boyfriends. I don't know if he has had a *real* girlfriend outside of female sex partners.

During the time of the TMZ video, Brady was thinking about auditioning for the Bachelor and appeared on Spike TV's pro vs. Joes. That TMZ video was such a set-up.....it practically had Brady jumping on a couch and screaming "I'm straight!"

Personally, it sounds like he doesn't know what he likes. He hasn't had any serious relationships and he's in his mid forties now. Fear of relationships?

As for steroids, it was a common joke around MLB that he bulked up on the stuff. Derek Jeter made a comment about how much he admired Brady for his 50 home run season (both being lead-off hitters). In reality, Jeter was really goofing on Brady and his "accomplishments." The Baltimore newspaper removed the sarcasm.

I met someone who said he dated Brady and he complained that Brady slept around on both sides of the bed (men and women).He also stated Brady took steroids. Personally, I don't mind the steroids as much as I hated the self-important denials and preaching about his work-ethic. He really smelled of false modesty.

Finally, Brady has a child with some singer of a rock band in LA. He probably "dated" her, but broke up with her soon after the birth of their daughter. The woman was a big groupie who claimed she dated rock stars like the guy from Guns n Rose (Slash) and someone from another group I can't remember. That particular rock star appeared on Howard Stern and denied that he was dating or even engaged to her. When the guy mentioned that he woman was dating some baseball player and having his kid, Artie screamed out, "Who? Mr. Steroids" Howard had to bleep Artie who according to Howard had named the guy as also being gay (obviously Brady).

The woman seemed like such a star fucker who hit the gold mine when she got pregnant. As a future psychologist, I would love to analyze him.

by Anonymousreply 56April 3, 2011 2:54 PM

I think Brady would probably fuck anything that he thought was as hot as he is. Male or female. Guys who are so into their bodies and grooming usually are.

Was it Roberto Alomar's ex who sued him for infecting her with HIV? And I always heard that the incident where he spit on the umpire happened after the umpire called him a faggot. Alomar always seemed like a joyless prick, but if the story is true, being a self-loathing gay player in MLB makes a lot of sense, and was the one thing that made me feel compassion for him.

Here's another TMZ video/PR stunt of him going into an LA club. One of the commenters (you have to scroll down) says that his boyfriend is the guy in the video with him.

Jim Thome is supposed to be one of the nicest when it comes to fans and helping out rookie players etc. He is Twins player now. Add him to the roster of Mauer, Morneau, Cuddeyer, Span etc., and you have a good team to follow and decent players to root for, but not a lot in juicy gossip. The local sports media has commented numerous times how boring this team is to cover in regards to off-field antics. They said part of it is the awareness of phone-cameras, twitpics etc, so they are even reluctant to have a few beers in public.

by Anonymousreply 69April 4, 2011 2:14 PM

Steve Carlton had issues. I believe his father was an alcoholic and some reporter in Phila reported on it and he stopped talking to the press.

Which was great, as you just knew him as a great pitcher. Years after retirement, he started talking and wished he never did.

Yes, he had copper tubing installed in his house, believe Hilary Clinton and the Jews were behind some conspiracy. AIDS was to get rid of gays and blacks.

I think he's backpedaled in recent years.

During his time in Philly, Lenny was also known to get stinking drunk at bars and clubs, sometimes causing fights but often picking up as many girls as he could and it wasn't unusual for him to leave with two or more. He could also be seen vomiting on the sidewalks on occasion. Like most players, I think it was just a guy having too much money and too much recognition at a young age and no one wanted to rein him in.

Joe Girardi isnt gay but he has a brother in Chicago who is. Looks just like Joe too. Tom Ricketts the Cubs Principal owner seems like a very nice man and since Boystown is about 100 yards from his ball park he is going to become very gay friendly in a short amount of time. I spoke with him for about five minutes @ Ron Santo's wake and he is a good guy so dont hurl insults his way.

Everyone in Cincinnati knows that Johnny Bench is gay, and as Red-necked as the city is (pun intended) everyone loves him so much that they ignore the obvious.

Interestingly, his Wiki entry doesn't mention any marriage. In fact, He was married for 13 months to Vicki Chesser, a model and beauty pageant winner. It did not work out. At all.

She said she should have known something was up when he spent the wedding night getting drunk and playing ping pong with Joe Morgan.

Great Johnny Bench story: Reds manager Sparky Anderson told him that he was thinking of trading for knuckleballer Phil Niekro. Bench replied that Anderson had better trade for Niekro's catcher, too. (Wiki)

Sandy Koufax worked for the Dodgers when Tommy Lasorda was the manager. He hated Tommy Lasorda and the feeling was mutual. Lasorda is a vicious homophobe whose son died of AIDS.

The New York Post outed Koufax saying that was the issue.

Good luck to both teams taking the field again approximately 12 hours after finishing that marathon.%0D %0D Worse news though is the end of the extra innings game between the Marlins and Giants. Poor Buster. That kid reminds me of my little brother and I got a pit in my stomach seeing him in pain after the collision. I hope to hear good news when they announce the diagnosis tomorrow.%0D %0D Finally, I found this youtube clip (attached) on Joey Votto explaining the time he had to take off a couple of years ago for emotional distress and panic attacks. I like him a lot and I guess I wouldn't be surprised if in addition to the death of his dad, his sexual orientation played a part in his break down.

by Anonymousreply 212July 1, 2011 2:33 PM

Kekich was traded to Cleveland shortly after the news about the swap broke in 1973--Peterson was viewed as the better player of the two. However, neither had a memorable career, though Peterson had a couple of good years with bad Yankee teams in 1969 and 1970. He was gone, though, before the Yankees started winning again in 1976.

I remember when the news of the swap broke in 1973, and it was considered quite shocking. Baseball is the most conservative of sports, and the Yankees are historically the most conservative of teams, so the shit really hit the fan. Kekich and Peterson were seen as doing something only hippies and "free love" advocates did (little did anyone know). There was much tut-tutting about the deterioration of the national moral fiber, what rotten role models these two players were, and yadda yadda.

Re Mauer, I have heard some talk that he normally goes to the local St. Paul bars and occasionally will pick up a girl. He tends to stay away from the splashier places and goes out with his pre-baseball St. Paul friends in his old neighborhood where people protect his privacy (and while he is always friendly in interviews, and is thought to be a nice guy, he is very private and reveals next to nothing).%0D %0D I don't think he is gay, but it would not completely shock me either. With that catcher's butt, I am sure someone would give it the appreciation it deserves.

I find baseball boring.

Yeah, R225, I know why you feel that way. But in MLB, you have to really absorb the positioning and demeanor of the individual players. From there you allow your imagination to flow. And after that . . .

R223 - over the all star break the local media tracked Mauer down golfing in Duluth (Duluth beautiful city, but not exactly celbrity central, so this was big news for them). He was identified as being with his girlfriend, although she remained nameless and he sent her out on the golf cart while he talked to the media and signed autographs. Rumor has it she is a former classmate and they are serious enough for him to acknowlege he is seeing someone, but not serious enough for him to fully reveal who she is and being completely open about their status.

Did anyone actually stay up to watch the outcome of the Pittsburgh vs. Atlanta game last night? The final run was out by quite a distance and was a bad call to say the runner was safe. The home plate umpire supposedly said afterward that upon review of the tape of the game, he made the wrong call. The Pirates have filed an official complaint with the Commissioner's Office. I don't recall the last time there was such an upset over a blown call and what the result was. Can the game result be tossed and the game replayed at a later date?

Paul Konerko of the Chicago White Sox is my fantasy man. Big, beefy, masculine, a leader in the club house, hairy but still clean cut. Those thighs of his. I know he is married and straight but supposedly he was seeing some (female) news anchor here in Chicago while his wife was pregnant. That seems very UnKonerko like!

by Anonymousreply 229July 27, 2011 7:39 PM

R228 - I was listening to that game on the radio and even I could tell that the ump had blown the call.

There has to be some kind of penalty for umps not just for making a bad call that makes a mockery of a six-hour game, but for making consistently bad calls throughout a game, which is what that umpire did. Nobody playing the game could tell what his strike zone would be from one pitch to the next. The fact that he ended the game with a bad call (clearly he just wanted to go to bed) was just the sour icing on a rotten cake.

MLB needs instant replay for disputed calls when the entire outcome of the game is at stake.

Good riddance to one of the worst human beings in the game. Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano has long been a hothead with no control of his own temper, but has also been a great hurler for several years. He lost it again tonight pitching against the Braves and possibly made it his last MLB effort.

Dan Uggla hit 2 home runs off him and Chipper Jones hit 1. So Zambrano threw at both hitters the next time they were each up to bat. Uggla took one on or just above his plump ass (little chance of doing too much damage). Z threw 2 consecutive way inside pitches at Chipper's groin area, but Jones was able to dodge them (and can probably still father children thanks to his quick reflexes). Immediately after the second throw at Jones, Zambrano was thrown out of the game. When the game was over and the players returned to the locker room, Big Z had cleaned out his locker and announced his immediate retirement.

What a fucking asshole this guy has always been - and I'd say that whether I liked the Cubbies or not. He screws his own team over with purposely getting ejected in the third inning (speculation is that he threw at Chipper twice because he wanted to get yanked) and then fucks them worse by quitting the team altogether. Apparently it's an anger management issue, or some such bullshit. Whatever.

I'm hoping he's serious about his quitting the game, but I suppose we'll see tomorrow if he settles down. The Cubs and MLB are really better off without him.

YahooSports has a story (attached) about Ryan Roberts and it gives me what I've been hoping for - shirtless pics taken from a feature in a tattoo magazine. It looks like he also has a star 'carved' into his torso below his left pec. There is no ink, so it just looks like scar tissue. Is that what it looks like when someone has a tattoo removed or is that something else?

The TBS cameras seem to love Roberts, or rather they did love him while the D-backs were still in the postseason. Will be sad to not seem him again until March.

Allegedly biggest cock and nicest guy in the league, R260. Interesting that he's going to an NL team. They must plan on using him exclusively as a pinch hitter which means we won't see him too often.
