A few BIG men wanted by the Marlins

This is just too much! I couldn’t stop laughing as I read the article.

Baseball team looking for a few fat men

MIAMI - The Florida Marlins are looking for some footloose fat men. The National League team is creating an all-male, plus-size cheerleading squad to be dubbed the Manatees.


HA! I can see them in manatee costumes doing their thing! But the Marlins better not take them to Milwaukee. Those sausage guys would really have a reason to run then!

Real manatees, 1,200-pound mammals sometimes referred to as "sea cows," are not considered the most agile of creatures and often get caught in boat propellers.

The Marlins want their Manatees to have the same dimensions, but to be decidedly more agile. Men will be judged on how well they dance a choreographed routine.


“dance a choreographed routine” What the heck is the point?

Ya mean like this?



Anyway, the tryouts were today so I missed out on being a star. :-(
