On the occasion of his return from the DL over the weekend, let’s take a closer look at hottie White Sox leftfielder Scott Podsednik.
Scott is beautiful. Let’s just get that out of the way up front. He’s from the tiny little town of West, Texas (which, oddly enough, is in Central Texas), so he has a charming soft Texas drawl. He’s also fast- he turned down several scholly offers to run track (including the University of Texas), and instead headed straight to the minors. He worked his butt off for nine years in the farm systems, and finally broke through to The Show in 2003 with that trademark speed… earning him the fans’ vote as Rookie of the Year. He’s been injury prone his whole career, but always bounced back… and thank goodness for that. He’s a humble, small-town country boy who’s made good- and if he wasn’t so damned cute, I couldn’t have forgiven him for that walkoff-HR against Lidge in the ’05 World Series.
Welcome back from the DL, Scotty- thanks for restoring the heat to LF at the Cell.
Tons more lovely Scott goodies after the jump (including video)…
A couple of really cute pics from after Scott’s HR in the 05 Series
And… eye black
BONUS! Video footage of Scott being interviewed in the locker room during spring training this year. The accent is lovely…
Ladies... 
Texy…why do I look at your posts while at work? My productivity just plunged.
One day soon I expect to see the Texas Gal Institute for the Study and Advancement of Baseball Ass erected in Texas. And I will immediately sign up for classes.
In an attempt to see as many baseball games as possible during the season, I have been to more White Sox games than I would like to admit this year (Seriously – quota filled for any Southside activities for 2007). However, Scottie never disappoints. That smile makes the Cell seem brighter, every time I go. Thanks for making my morning.
What I would not give to be the meat in that Bacon Pants-Posednik sandwich. [sigh]
HE’S A GRINDER!
I like the home run pic from ’05 the best. He’s so cute!
I love the crinkly-upon-smiling eyes. He’s got good ones. Now, I just need a picture of him crinkly-eyed in eye black.
TGB- And I would totally give you a full scholarship to study there. You earned it.
Clare: YES.
Clare, wouldn’t you be the sandwich between two slices of ass? Or would you be the mayo between the turkey and bacon?
Why is such hotness wasted on the White Sux, why!?! He needs to come to the North side.
You picked a good one today. For some hottie David Wright v. Joe Mauer, check out this ad…
opps… forgot to include the link.
he looks just like Keanu Reeves in that picture! (a good thing.)
(I meant the first one, before the jump)
As a not gay guy, I’m going to pass on the discusison of Posednik’s hotness, but I will enter the discussion of his baseballness.
Texy are you a ‘Stros fan? If so, I find this selection a little curious as I am of the opinion that it was actually Scott Pod’s HR in the Series and not the Pujols moon shot in the NLCS that ruined Lidge.
Was. I finally ended both our miseries and officially divorced them this year. I had been pretending to be a part of that relationship for awhile, but the spark was gone between us long ago.
And I totally agree- the Pods HR opened up a giant gaping hole in “Lights Out” Lidge’s confidence… and then the Pujols HR cauterized the wound, to stay open forever.
As a southsider I love you for this since now the Sox have finally given me something to smile about…since not much else has with this team. I absolutly love scotty pods and the eight weeks he was gone was killing me. Thank goodness for Pods.
You divorce the Astros for the Cubs, Phillies, and Red Sox? You really like ’em nutty.
wow… , thanks for posting that link. I’d seen that commercial during the Dodgers game last week and thought it was sooo cool. Was actually looking for it online.
Jordan- one of my best buds here in Chicago is in mourning over the Sox this year. In order to distract herself, she bought a Brewers tshirt to wear around, until the madness has passed.
Raskol- I know, I know.
Whoooa…bacon pants and podsednik together is almost too much. Almost. Those are some nice butt shots though…very nice. Although i just can’t get into the black stickers instead of the paint/marker. Its too clean looking!
His eyebrows freak me out a little bit.
Speaking of eyebrows, how hot does David Wright look in that All Star commercial that wow… posted?
ChiTown- it’s because they’re so dark. And thick. Not quite to the B&T levels of Dwright, though.
iheart- I know! That commercial is awesome because: (a) tons of hotties, (b) Andruw Jones is in there, which is hilarious.
Texas Gal-
I have questioned the sox all year so tell your friend it’s okay we’ll forgive her and welcome her back openly considering what we had to deal with last weekend (lol!), I had to come back though. It was great going to Scotty’s first game back, though now that he has shaved his head I will have to ask him what is with that when I see him. The info. I posted last week changed.
Scotty will be in Naperville, Il on July 29th for a signing.
I was SO upset- I was at the Friday Cubs-Sox game… and then he came back the next day. So close, and yet so far away.
It was amazing on Saturday when everyone realized that he was back since he wasn’t do back until Monday. Everyone went nuts everytime he came up to bat. He was our only bright spot during that game.
I still can’t believe he is almost bald today!
A gal at work has pictures of Pods hanging up in her cubicle. It is actually kind of creepy.
Dude. Even I don’t go that far. That’s kind of… weird.
Is it bad that I’m a cubs fan and I find him to be so ….hot.
damn
NO. I’m a Cubs fan, and I can’t help myself, either. You can appreciate the scenery without feeling guilty. (or so I tell myself)
good. I don’t feel as bad now. Now that mikey b. is gone there seems to be no cubs that can look that cute. Theriot and DeRosa are pretty hot though but nobody can ever replace michael’s butt.
*sign*
@chitowntiger: They’re no scarier than Rex Grossman’s.
Drunk Rex Grossman pictures always kill me.
Great choice on HDH (I know I’m a day late).
Who knew the hottness hidden in Chicago?
With one week off the DL Scotty finds himself back on it with a strained rib muscle. Scotty why do you have to do this to us all the time?
