Are you encountering adversity for the first time in your life? Is the talent that carried you through your teenage years against lesser competition suddenly not enough to survive in the pros? Try bulking!
A Sports Illustrated dot com article from February 2025:

Jackson Holliday really beefed up during the offseason.

Holliday, part of the Baltimore Orioles promising young core, made his MLB debut last year. Taken with the No. 1 pick in the 2022 MLB draft, Holliday hit just .189 with 11 extra-base hits in his first season.A story from ClutchSports in June 2025:

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. has made headlines entering his second NFL season after undergoing a significant offseason transformation, one that added 11 pounds of muscle to his frame and altered both his physical and mental approach to the game.

My favorite fantasy football podcast has been talking about a young player hasn't really panned out three years in the league despite a brilliant career at lower levels, awesome physical traits and a family pedigree that projected surefire stardom. I almost forgot what sport they were talking about.

Performance art.
I was a general manager for 16 and a half years and worked in MLB front offices for close to three decades. I lived through several CBA negotiations, including the work stoppage in 1994-95. Because of my background, most people think I lean toward the owners' side in negotiations like this, but that's not the case, in actuality, I'm not biased.

I think it would be cool if the owner of my favorite baseball team invested as much money into the culture, beautification and preservation of Baltimore as he does in the closest and most directly competing market.

Think the Buxton one in Minnesota is still my favorite. But I've seen people say that the only reason he got to so many was because of the short fences at Camden, which is not true. Look at how high over the wall he could fly!
