Jesus!

Jesus of Tampa hits two. Remember: He's 19.

But why, why, why... is he playing so much DH?

    He is DHing because there is no equipment manufacturer in the US or Latin America who still has a steel forge capable of molding a catcher's mask to match the size of his head.

    Jesus, as you know, is bigger than most humans. Only a single Budda, located somewhere in North China, is larger.

    At 6'8" and 345 pounds, Jesus cannot provide a target in the strike zone, even whilst squatting.

    And, at age 19 or so, he is still growing. He eats from a trough with the long-horns that
    Hank and Hal raise in Forida.

    His speed to first base is now officially over 1 minute.

    Jesus has been thrown out at first
    several times from the outfield after line shots bounced
    cleanly off the outfield walls.

    He can only DH.

    Now and forevermore.
