Go Rangers!


This is a picture of the new batting helmets that will be worn by the Texas Rangers this year. Having the ugliest helmets in the history of professional sports is actually a genius idea because pitchers will be so distracted by them that they won't be able to focus, thus causing an increase in walks and on base percentage. Although, on the flip side, the Rangers hitters might feel so self-conscious wearing them that they also might not be able to focus. Sad day for baseball.

By the way, this is not a joke. Those really are going to be the helmets that they wear for all 162 games.

This just in: Josh Hamilton took one look at the helmets and immediately started doing heavy drugs again. Sad day for baseball indeed...

Not only was I just forced to play third base, but now I have to wear that FUCKING helmet? Are you f-ing kidding me?
