U never/hardly hear baseball players caught up in social networking drama

Rickey Henderson ain't need twitter to let nikkas know what was up...

let's not act like these white play-by-play analysts weren't shytting on the brother (with sly/veiled comments/stereotypes) every fukking NIGHT THO...Let's not be forgetful of THAT.

Oh, true; you ain't never lie about that. I remember watching Yankee broadcasts where Phil Rizzuto would have a heart attack every time Rickey did that snap catch thing in the outfield. I remember last year when JR Smith and Iman Shumpert had their own little slam dunk contest in the last minutes of a blowout, and Mike Breen, our own announcer, was the whole time.

What would they be tweeting


But this is kind of a related problem to the marketing/appeal baseball has to the younger age group. They've been trying to make a conscious effort to improve their social media, but that's hard if nobody is really connected or cares about the star players of the league

baseball players really do enjoy a level of anonymity that NFL and NBA players don't get....and still make just as much, if not more than the top athletes in football and basketball.

it's a slow game to begin with, what are people really gonna live tweet about?

lasty,being a baseball player aint sexy to groupie,hoes and fatherless twitter nikkas.
