Mickey Mantle Award: Baseball’s Best Asse(t)s, pt. 4

Previously, we honored 15 of the greatest rear views to be found inside a pair of baseball pants on major league baseball diamonds from New York to Oakland, and everywhere in between:

Mickey Mantle Award Part 1: #25-21
Mickey Mantle Award Part 2: #20-16
Mickey Mantle Award Part 3: #15-11

A hot ass smudged with dirt from a great slide? Yes, please!

And now we’re moving on to the single digits- the next five finest baseball asses around in our countdown on the way to the greatest butt of them all… the baseball bootie to end all booties. Follow me after the jump for #10-6…

#10: Eric Chavez
Oakland Athletics, 3B

Eric looks just as beautiful coming as he does going, thanks to his rugged good looks and unbelievable ass. Let’s also take a moment and sing the praises of the baseball pant- especially of the white variety. They make baseball players’ butts look phenomenal, and they make ogling those butts so much easier. Eric, we salute your lovely ass (and your white baseball pants).

#9: Michael Barrett
Chicago Cubs, C

Michael is a perfect example of the new breed of tall catchers folding up their long limbs to crouch behind the plate. I fear for his knees, but I love how all that gumbification makes his butt that much tighter. And don’t tell me the thought that he might engage another ballplayer in fisticuffs at a moment’s notice doesn’t make him hotter. Let me kiss those stitches and black eyes and make them all better, Mikey.

#8: Conor Jackson
Arizona Diamondbacks, 1B

The DBacks are surprising everyone this year. Not only are they kicking ass on the field, they’re hiding a lot of hotties out there in Arizona as well (not you, Big Unit- sorry, TSW). But Conor and his sweet ass outshine them all. He’s also the highest-ranking first baseman on the list, and so he claims the first position at 1B on the Depth Chart o’ Hot Asses.

#7: Javy Lopez
Colorado Rockies, C

Javy is an all-time hottie- his butt is so great, that he’ll continue to make the list until he retires no matter what. It may be found inside a pair of Rockies pants these days, but Javy’s ass will not be defined by the team on which he plays- but by the strength of his buttcheeks.

#6: Aaron Rowand
Philadelphia Phillies, CF

Bacon Pants, ahoy! With the overload of ass-tastic talents on the Phillies, it’s always sunny in Philadelphia. Aaron Rowand’s rear-view talents are spectacular- especially when he’s knocking out a game-winning grand slam (way to go last night, darlin’!) or crashing into fences going for a ball (or even crashing into fellow teammates). Being a grinder apparently does amazing things for Aaron’s gorgeous butt… so, grind away, sweetheart!
