UM. HAVE YOU SEEN KYLE FARNSWORTH LATELY?

The story is not new, but it was new to me. 

Quick note because it's eye opening and all of that. Kyle Farnsworth is a professional bodybuilder and it's awesome.

Everything Farnsworth does is 1000 percent. I've always said that. He has been a true competitor with baseball and even football for a short time. I was a Farnsworth guy when he was with the Yankees. But he played ball for a long time. 

16 years in the Major Leagues. I loved his toughness on the field and the fact that he always wanted the ball. But after he retired, like many ball players, they need to find something else to do. Some guys consult with teams, some join their front offices, many coach or manage.  Farnsworth went rogue, and it kind of fits how his personality might be.  He decided to go into body building. He didn't want to slow down.  I was recently reading a Sports Illustrated article about his latest endeavor from back in 2022 and it's great. Check this out:

"The worst part about bodybuilding, Kyle Farnsworth says, is how appealing Oreos look when you’re not allowed to eat them. By the time Farnsworth took the stage in Orlando last month for the National Physique Committee Southern USA Championships, he was about ready to withdraw and Double Stuf his face. But after 16 years as a major league reliever, playing for nine teams, including, notably, the Cubs and Yankees, he knows something about patience. So he strode out into the spotlight … and found its glow familiar.

“Everybody’s looking at you,” he says. “You’re all by yourself. The only difference is: In baseball, you have your uniform. In bodybuilding, you’re in your underwear.”

Farnsworth doesn't shy away from competition even now, which I applaud. I realized that he was a semi-finalist in what is known as Mr. Health & Fitness, and it appears you can vote for Farnsworth to win.  And so, hey, here's BYB raising our hand saying "Hey, take a moment, vote for Kyle!"

If you click HERE, you can help Farnsworth and help support Homes for Wounded Warriors. The mission is simple, the money goes toward building and remodeling homes for injured U.S. military vets, an amazing cause.  With July 4th right around the corner, it's the right thing to do.

So do the right thing and support the troops and of course support musclehead Kyle Farnsworth.  Gotta love it.
