Real survey says

May 8, 2010

The curent issue of ESPN The Magazine features a survey of 100 MLB players on sundry issues. Here are some of the more unusual questions and results, if you believe them. (Come one, don’t you think a few of the questionees are just playin’?)

  • The city with the best baseball groupies: Chicago
  • How many games should teams play: 152
  • On a typical 25-man roster, how many are taking PED: 1.2
  • Married players that cheat on their wives: 36%
  • Barry Bonds should be in the Hall of Fame: 67%
  • Finish a career with just one piece of hardware: World Series ring of Cy Young/MVP Award: Ring, 87%
  • Do language barriers affect play on the field? 91% said no issue or they find a way to communicate
  • Average grade for Commissioner Bud Selig: B-
  • Players spend an average of 18 minutes checking out the women in the stands
  • Players who own a gun: 44%
  • “On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being none, 10  being apocalyptic), what would the clubhouse reaction be if you found out you had a gay teammate?” 5.1
  • Who’s the one guy you wouldn’t want to fight on the field (hint: forget it, you’ll never guess)

Full detail and breakdowns for the questions are on the Insider segment of ESPN’s website, for an additional subscription fee (the bastards).
