It’s finally time. This one’s been a long way in the offing- and, in my opinion, criminally overdue. Why hasn’t Aaron “Bacon Pants” Rowand been featured as a Hump Day Hottie before now? We’ve had him jumping out of a cupcake, but we haven’t given him the full HDH treatment. I can only say that I was saving him for a special occasion- and the last HDH before football season kicks off seems like the perfect time (not to mention that TODAY IS HIS 30th BIRTHDAY). I have only myself to blame for keeping his hottness away from y’all for so long. I hope this makes up for it.
Lots more bacon-y goodness after the jump…

As happy as a little kid on the sidelines of a Bears game
I adore this picture- and I’m not sure why.
Hey now, he’s an All-Star! (and very serious about it)
So! Cute! It! Hurts!
The forearms are amazing.
Sad panda
Yes- he wears sweatbands that say “BEER PONG CHAMP” during BP.
He’s wearing them in the All-Star picture above, too.
Another of my favorites- he’s so focused.
Showing off the hardware.
My, what a broad chest you have!
Bacon doing what he does best- going full-tilt
There are those forearms again…
He looks like a lost little kid here

Bless you, TG. This post is a thing of beauty.

I love the composition of that photo of Bacon hanging over the Petco Park outfield wall. I don’t know why, but I just love it.
Oh, Bacon. You’re so delicious.
August 29, 2007 at 1:31 pm |
i love this man.
August 29, 2007 at 2:10 pm |
Thank you thank you thank you!!! This turned out to be a great day afterall! I wanna see a shirtless pic of him. It’s a crying shame there aren’t any out there to show off all that muscle. But damn, those forearms will do I suppose. I think he should cut his hair like he had it as a White Sox. He looks so much hotter with the short hair!
August 29, 2007 at 2:14 pm |
I don’t know how to thank you. Perhaps, with this: or this:

Didn’t work…maybe just try the links: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rikinillinois/368869854/ or http://mlb.mlb.com/images/2006/03/21/oAX4f7VD.jpg

Thank you for the shout out to my favorite Phil. Even my boyfriend understands that when he comes up to bat, there is no talking, just staring.
August 29, 2007 at 2:40 pm |
The picture of him in the Bears gear is just so cute. Oh Bacon Pants, you steal my heart.
August 29, 2007 at 3:30 pm |
great pictorial presentation
(btw, TSW…i totally call you out in a guest post for broseph’s upcoming event…just you wait)
August 29, 2007 at 3:43 pm |
I want those “Beer Pong Champ” armbands.
August 29, 2007 at 3:45 pm |
i second the shirtless pic
August 29, 2007 at 5:04 pm |
Sheena – I cannot wait.
August 29, 2007 at 5:18 pm |
I have so much work to do. And yet, suddenly, my mind is blank.
August 29, 2007 at 6:58 pm |
Hey, it’s also Aaron Rowand’s 30th Birthday today, so it’s an extra special hottie hump day! :-) Happy, Happy Birthday Aaron!
August 29, 2007 at 7:13 pm |
This website has a little bit more refinement and classy than ladies dot dot…
Enjoy, I think you all will like it.

Any man looks hotter in a Walter Payton Jersey. Bacon Pants? SIZZLIN.’ (Yeah, I went for the easy pun.)
August 29, 2007 at 11:30 pm |
I have a new goal in life and that goal is to now play beer pong with Aaron Rowand. I can see him knocking the entire table over while diving to catch an opposing teams bounce. Full throttle 24/7.
August 30, 2007 at 12:13 am |
Yum. Fantasticness. And Happy Birthday Aaron Baconpants. (ok, technically it’s over since it’s after midnight but the thought is still there.)
I’m echoing the wanting of the Beer Pong Champ wristbands…and i’m doing it for Jole Mamels too, cuz I’m sure she’ll come in here wanting too.
August 30, 2007 at 12:18 am |
I would love some Beer Pong Champ sweatbands. Lemme work on it and see if I can find a place that’ll do ‘em on order or something.
August 30, 2007 at 1:20 am |
I have been waiting for this so, so patiently… and it’s finally here… and it’s wonderful. I am SO GLEEEEFUL! :-D
Thank you so kindly. Ohhh Baconpants. ::melts::
August 30, 2007 at 1:36 am |
TSexB got drunk on the cocktail of the week tonight and attempted to make bacon pants.
This is only embarrassing because I was not making anything that involved bacon at the time.
August 30, 2007 at 3:19 am |
Lionel Mcclure, you just put that vision in my head of him diving for the ping pong ball! i’m crackin up! hahaha…i’d love to play beer pong with him, it’d be so competitive, and i already get competitive while playing pong. me and you should be on a team against rowand and whoever…even just him himself would be fun lol.
i feel bad for him striking out in all his at-bat’s, on his birthday no less. but atleast the Phil’s came out on top! i was at this game! it was great! i love talkin ish with Met’s fans!
August 30, 2007 at 11:27 am |
Lindsey, I was there last night too. Poor Aaron, I was hoping he’d at least do SOMETHING on his birthday. Oh well. You should have heard the Mets fans around us after the interference call. Just sayin’.
August 30, 2007 at 11:51 am |
He is the only man that can get away with wearing a gold chain and still make me love him.
August 30, 2007 at 3:23 pm |
Yea the Met’s fans around us were yellin lot’s of stuff. I was actually up there with a couple Met’s fans…that was a fun car ride home! For me anyways…
August 30, 2007 at 4:37 pm |
Julie- for him, I overlook the gold chain AND the poor facial hair choices AND the tribal armband tattoo. He’s just sex on a stick.
August 30, 2007 at 6:51 pm |
Amazing catch and homer today, yes? Yes.
August 30, 2007 at 7:41 pm |
Hi Texas Gal – Rowand has a tribal armband tattoo? Haven’t seen any pics of that. I thought he only had a tattoo just above one of his ankles?
August 30, 2007 at 7:53 pm |
Wait- he has a tattoo above his ankle?! I did not know that. Here’s a pic of the upper arm tattoo.
August 30, 2007 at 8:35 pm |
Yes, on his left leg. There’s a picture of it in the ‘Phillies Baseball Academy’ slideshow from 2006 in the phillies photo gallery website (third picture):
http://mlb.mlb.com/phi/photogallery/year_2006/month_07/day_26/cf1576846.html
I think the tattoo has something to do with his college, Cal State Fullerton.
August 31, 2007 at 12:06 am |
AARON HAS TATTOOS?!?!?!
*looks at pictures*
Oh, I think I love him more. Gosh, what IS it about guys with tattoos?
August 31, 2007 at 7:01 pm |
Wow, what a way to start a weekend seeing Aaron Rowand as both a member of the Sox and Phillies’. Since I have been cut off from the internet it is great to see the amazing hotness of Aaron “bacon pants” Rowand.
Oh happy belated birthday Ro!
September 1, 2007 at 2:06 am |
Haha, aw Aaron! I totally see him as that older brother/bar buddy. And I totally made an AWESOME “Happy Birthday Aaron” sign for Wednesday’s game, but he didn’t get to see it:( But I still held it up–and yes, it did say “AKA Bacon Pants” at the bottom.
September 5, 2007 at 7:50 pm |
I saw Aaron without his shirt on once. Reporters were interviewing Cole Hamels the night he pitched against Milwakee in May and aaron was in the background. I saw his bear back.
September 5, 2007 at 8:50 pm |
Did you get a long enough look to describe the way his back looked? :-)
September 5, 2007 at 9:32 pm |
He is definetly muscular. He must work out at the gym for hours. I forgot to mention, he turned to the side briefly and I got a glimpse of his massive arms. :-)
September 6, 2007 at 7:28 am |
Nice! I remember reading an article somewhere that said he works out at the gym 6am everyday in the off season.
September 6, 2007 at 2:54 pm |
Nice. I wished he would have turned around so I could have seen his abs. :-)
October 5, 2007 at 6:56 pm |
Thank you very much for sharing this hottie’s photos!
November 1, 2007 at 11:31 am |
What does “bacon pants” mean?????
November 7, 2007 at 6:27 pm |
I didn’t even know he was called bacon pants till reading the post
November 25, 2007 at 8:29 am |
Neither did I. I guess it means he sizzles? I would agree with that!!!!
November 29, 2007 at 10:32 am |
I am a huge Phillies fan but first and foremost I am an Aaron Rowand fan. These are the best photos of him I have ever come across, and believe me, I have searched high and low. He is by far the hottest friggin player in MLB right now. I would love to do many naughty things with what is in his “bacon pants.” I LOVE YOU AND YOUR DREAMY THIGHS, AARON!!! Thanks for the pics.
December 13, 2007 at 12:37 am |
Sweet! Now that he’s a Giant, maybe I can sell more of my season tickets, lol!
December 20, 2007 at 3:48 pm |
I am soooo PISSED that we traded him. What a crime. In more ways than one!!! At least we still have Patsy B. to oggle.

Awesome pictures. We love him already here in SF.

Aaron is a great all around player, and he makes me feel like such a big loser. All the women adore him and for obvious reasons!
August 18, 2009 at 7:14 pm |
How have I never seen this website before?! Thanks for the lovely pics of my ultimate hottie!
p.s. I, too, am in the dark as to what “bacon pants” is… please enlgihten.
September 20, 2009 at 2:39 am |
so fucking gay
the guy looks like he’s taking a shit at every at bat, and most of the time, that’s exactly the result.
Roid forearms and NO shoulders.
And he throws like a girl.
Fuck him.
Signed, Giants fans everywhere
