45. Pence prefers the bath for health reasons...

Thu Jan 28, 2016, 09:24 PM

Jan 2016

He has Scheuermann's disease, a spinal disorder that left him with no flexibility in his thoracic spine.

And this also explains his totally unorthodox gangly alien/stork-like style of playing. By all measures, he shouldn't even be playing MLB, but he has the biggest heart in baseball, bar none, and worked hard to develop mechanics that work well for him despite being just plain ugly to watch.

Runs like a rotary phone thrown into a running clothes dryer. Throws like an effete Frenchman throwing a bookcase uphill. Swings a bat like his elbows are stapled to his knees and his underwear is pulled over his head. Stares at you while you aren’t looking.
