Alex the Great?

The ladies love Alex Gordon.

I love Alex Gordon.

Thing is...there are a lot of reasons to love Alex Gordon, the third baseman for the Kansas City Royals. The ladies love him because of his charm, his boyish good looks, his ability to flick his wrists and hit a baseball out of a ballpark faster than you can spread ketchup on your bratwurst. They love him because of the way his Kansas City Royals hat fits on his head. The ladies love Alex Gordon because his biceps fill his baby blue KC Royals jersey just right. Trust me, I've heard these things before. Ladies love Alex Gordon for as many reasons as a person can think up.

Why do I love Alex Gordon?

He can do the unthinkable. And he makes it look really easy. No, I'm not talking about hitting home runs or making girls go goofy when they see him smile. It's not the fact that he makes thousands of dollars every time he steps onto a ball field.

So what is it, you ask?

The dude can simultaneously stop an ankle-high line drive with his glove, pick it up off the ground and chuck a baseball on a laser beam path to first base all while chewing bubble gum AND blow bubbles. Check the photo above for proof.

This is just a perfect example at how athletic these guys are. And it completely justifies paying someone millions of dollars to play a game.

I wish I were Alex Gordon. I can't even blow a bubble while sitting still....
