Sign of the Apocalypse: Linking to “Cosmo”

April 6th, 2009 · No Comments · Baseball, Dodgers, Lists

And, no. It’s not Cosmo Kramer.

I’m linking to Cosmopolitan magazine, which is to sports what Sports Illustrated is to hedge funds.

Cosmo usually is about how to find a man or steal one from someone else, and how women can manipulate men. Key stuff.

Anyway, Cosmo strayed into baseball this week, and it’s not about on-base percentage or pennant race projections or even money.

It’s about 10 players that Cosmo editors consider hunky.

Find it here, if you want.

Spoiler alert: One of the 10 guys Cosmo is nominating is a certain dread-locked left fielder who plays for the Dodgers. And if Manny Ramirez is a sex symbol, then I’m Babe Ruth. Cosmo readers no doubt find Manny more attractive because he’s being paid $25 million to play baseball this year. Funny, how money can make a guy look like Adonis.

Thing is, ballplayers always struck me as sort of gender-neutral. They play in outfits that look like pajamas, and the only guys who have muscles generally have been abusing steroids to the point that they might pop a back zit and get so angry they ask their personal trainer to beat you up.

So, ballplayers, sexy? Cosmo thinks so. Take a look.
