You don't like Fat Albert?

Hey hey hey!

WTF he should be focusing on BASEBALL! Not stupid basketball! He isn't getting paid 250 million to play BASKETBALL! He should be fined!

Hopefully he doesn't tear an ACL, like Aaron Boone did.

As long as he doesn't get hurt, I don't care. I don't know if it's smart playing. coming off foot and knee problems. I know Aaron Boone had his contract voided with the Yankees getting hurt playing basketball, don't think the Angels were smart enough to put that in the contract. Edited November 25, 2013 by HBMike

Your AO is getting better and better. Don't forget to ask a ton of rhetorical questions.

Was he actually playing or was his charity just hosting the event?

In the link i posted, I  he is #5 the guy who gets the rebound and passes the ball. 

[bloodbrother]

Nice pass

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Probably a tryout for the Utah Jazz, since they're 1-14. They figure that it can't hurt.

Trying so hard not to compare his teammates in that photo to ...

[sneaky_flute]

Why are all his teammates on the bench white?

[Angel_In_Germany]

I think it's great what he's doing.  There's more to life than baseball - taboo to say on this board?  Probably.

 

His struggles at the plate aren't for lack of effort.

Maybe Albert should get a motorcycle and start doing tricks on it.

 

Seriously, he needs to focus on the sport he gets paid to play. Pickup basketball injuries in November could equal another mediocre, albeit highly-compensated baseball season.

Or maybe he's just, you know, a human being and likes to do shit besides baseball during the long off-season, and he should be free to do that as long as it doesn't violate his contract.

 

Ah, what am I saying?  He needs to focus on baseball 24/7!  Nothing but baseball.  Baseball all the time.

This was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this thread.

Albert's daughter has Down's syndrome. This is his charity event for that. If you notice in the pictures the kids on the basketball floor and the picture of the kids on the bench with him are all special needs children.  

 

You need to focus on what is right in the world instead of being over critical of a player giving a whole lot back to the community.

So they should hope that he DOES tear his ACL?

Why can't he do a charity baseball game, so he can practice his swing against horrible pitchers?
