Whats your view on Fleury playing another sport?

Question

so apprently former NHL'er Theo Fleury will be playing minor league baseball in Calgary soon.

"The fans love it. He's going to be out here Thursday night throwing the first pitch," said an unashamed Peter Young, president of the Calgary Vipers. "The league has said any time we want to use him we can and not go against our roster.

"He's a pro athlete and he's not likely to make a fool of himself. It's not like Billy Crystal standing out there who has played in a couple of celebrity games in his life. "This guy played professional sports."

The announcement came on the same day the team announced it had traded a player to another squad for 10 baseball bats.

Fleury, wearing the Viper's uniform with his trademark Number 14, appeared to be taking the whole hitting practice seriously although a slight paunch drummed up memories of Babe Ruth in his latter years

whats your view on pro athletes trying to play more than 1 sport professionally

Answer 1

I hate baseball.>=|

d**n, but Fluery did say that he was a better baseball player than a hockey player.

My "view"? I really don't care, they can do whatever they want.

Answer 2

epic fail waiting to happen

Answer 3

As long as he's not their catcher, good for them.

Before seasons were so long, there were many two-sport athletes who played in major league baseball and the NBA.

Answer 4

Hi

I don't see what the big deal is. If he can play let him play, if he can not play at least he will put butts in the seats. Not like he is trying to race a loin or wrestle alligators.

Thank You

Answer 5

good for him...i think they should be able to play as many sports as they possibly can
