Is baseball attempting to lure more homosexual fans?
I'm not speaking of the old terms like, "He's got 2 balls on 'im." "It is high, it is long..." etc.
Lately they seem to be adding suggestive nicknames to popular players.
With names like "the Rocket", "the Unit", "a Rod" etc.
Is this some kind of P.R. plan devised to join TV sitcoms and get a piece of a high-income demographic?

God says, and for those of you watching in black and white, the red ball is just in front of the blue. No, sports people cannot think suggestively in terms of nicknames as the whole sports industry is very homophobic. That said, God knows that commentators are known for playing practical jokes to see who picks up on them.

They have had these nicknames for the past 10 + years. This is not all of a sudden but certain teams will have LGBT days.

That sounds more like the imagination of a dirty mind than a marheting campaign.

Haha. Nice piece of lowbrow humor. "Please grow up and try your guestion again." Honestly, I'm one of the few lesbians that doesn't watch sports.
