Yes, athletes are "man candy". Big surprise. They have fame, fortune, and are usually in tremendous shape. Add a full set of teeth and a nice haircut, and you've got yourself a premium piece of professional ass.

VIDEO: The Greatest All-Star Performance Of The Past Decade
I know what the 1990's brought us in terms of All-Star Baseball. There was John Kruk's hilarious reaction to a Randy Johnson fastball that almost decapitated Kruk, and this probably would've been the most memorable All-Star moment of the 90's had the ball actually hit Kruk and taken his head off, thus not letting ESPN subject us to his hybrid Rick Astley - Joe Dirt...
