"snorting like a bull"


Joe Torre's got a new book out called The Yankee Years co-written by Tom Verducci. Might be worth a read, considering the couple of chucklers I've heard already. Apparently, Torre reveals that A-Rod's nickname in the clubhouse was "A-Fraud" which is especially funny given the recent news about him testing positive for 'roids. But, nothing could possibly top what former Yankees trainer Steve Donahue reveals about Roger Clemens' pregame rituals. First, according to Donahue, Clemens would take a whirlpool bath at the hottest possible temperature...

“He’d come out looking like a lobster,” Donahue said.

Then Donahue would rub the hottest possible liniment on his testicles.

“He’d start snorting like a bull,” the trainer said. “That’s when he was ready to pitch.”
