Wrigley Roundtable: Singing the Stretch, is it Time for a Change?

It's been 10 years since the death of Harry Caray, but singing the seventh inning stretch still lives on with the guest conductors. But has this routine of trotting out celebrities and pseudo-celebrities grown tire and stale? Chip Wesley at Thunder Matt's Saloon thinks so and wants to see a change in who gets to sing the stretch, including bringing back a legend.

The All-Fat Team

For all the physical finesse and discipline found in most athletes, baseball is a sport that still supports the obese. Pitchers love having a little extra heft to put behind their delivery, while the DH slot is a sweet, sweet haven for the overweight batter who's willing to eat more meals in order to increase their power numbers.

The fat is so prevalent, that TMS writer Lingering Bursitis has decided to pay homage to the diamond's tubbiest, the most rotund found around the league this year.
