Jeff Bagwell's Ailments

My shoulder hurts when I have to, like, make plays
That can't feel good.

It sure would be nice to read good articles like this one about Jeff Bagwell in the Comical.

Unfortunately, there are no sportswriters at the Comical. So we have to turn to the Dallas Morning News and Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Interestingly, there's no mention at all of steroids in the article. Maybe it wouldn't be nice to bring up the topic, but you do have to wonder how a guy with Bagwell's tiny frame got so bulked up and lost so much of that mass over one offseason. Maybe it's the injury and lack of lifting. Maybe not.

In any case, it's a shame he's a crippled ballplayer at this point in his career. I hated watching Don Mattingly's last games as a Yankee (he was my model ballplayer as a kid, and it's awful his back cut his career), and I think Jeff Bagwell's last games are going to be just as sad because of his physical problems.
