There’s no crying in baseball

Dear Jonathan Papelbon, Prince Fielder, and Cole Hamels,

Please stop crying.

Randy Johnson did not cry when he exploded a dove with a fastball.

Jose Canseco did not cry when syringes were repeatedly stabbed into his ass.

John Smoltz did not cry when he pitched through a torn elbow ligament.

Robin Ventura did not cry when Nolan Ryan put him in a headlock and kicked his ass. He should have, though. That must have been humiliating.

Dave Winfield did not cry when he killed a seagull with a warm up throw. He also did not cry when the police charged him with animal cruelty.

Dodgers fans did not cry when the club signed Grady Little.

Mike Redmond did not cry when Jim Thome busted his head open with his follow through. He was too busy apologizing to Mauer for leaving the game.

Kevin Costner did not cry when he played catch with his dad in “Field of Dreams.” You did, though. It’s ok.

Craig Biggio was hit by a pitch 285 times and did not cry once.

And you guys are crying over your paychecks?

Take a lesson from BJ Upton.

Man up and play.
