Shortstop Orgy

Making gay jokes about Jeter and A-Rod is juvenile, I admit. But Paul Katcher points us towards this old SI article from 1997 about the hot young shortstops new to MLB at the time- Jeter, A-Rod, Edgar Renteria, Rey Ordonez, and Alex Gonzalez. And included in it is a photo of the five players, all shirtless, that makes them look, Paul says, "like Miami Beach cabana boys." Drop that photo into the back pages of the Village Voice, and it would fit right in.

That led to this exchange between Jeremy and myself:

Me: I don't remember Renteria being that tiny.

Him: That's what Jeter said.

Not gay...they just happen to look like they're posing for a gay cruise ad.
