Full disclosure time – I loved this picture and needed to find a way to get it up on the site. I think it sums up John Rocker without really saying much at all. But, it’s an interesting story nonetheless, so let’s dig a little deeper.
John Rocker is famous in an “oh, isn’t he that guy who doesn’t like minorities” kind of way.
He’s the sports world’s answer to Mark Fuhrman. You know him for things like him not caring for gay people or not really caring for people that don’t look as white or male as he does.
I am not making any statements of fact about him and I can’t speak for him, but you probably know him for these things. But, he is actually quite the Renaissance man.
According to his official web page – he’s been a major league pitcher, real estate developer, and small business owner. He’s also an outdoorsman – you can add him to the list of people who make the rest of us who like to hunt and fish look like idiots.
And, finally, you can also add another category to Mr. Rocker’s resume. According to SI.com, steroid user should be moved toward the top of the list. Is anyone surprised? Me either.
(The picture is from his website, which makes it even more precious.)
