When the Cubs traded for Rich Harden, I was overjoyed. The guy can pitch (if he stays healthy fingers crossed knock on wood spit twice) and Chicago got him without giving up a ton. Then I saw some pictures of him… how had I never noticed him before? Smokin’ hot, with a crooked smile. Welcome to Chicago, Rich. If you need a tour guide, a person to show you where to get the best pizza, hot dogs or a beer near the ballpark, please let me know. Might I add, the pinstripes look marvelous on you.
















Added after reader suggestions-thanks Trish and June!

Not bad at all. My favorite pic is the one where he’s giving an autograph to the kid. I’m sorry to say Chitown, but since I’m from Northern NJ, the thought of Chicago style pizza and hot dogs makes my queasy!

I think the same thing about NYC pizza and hot dogs, Pam. It’s ok.

Don’t shoot me Andie.

mmm…i like the second to last picture. nice half smile/smirk going on there.

YES. Especially the second to last picture. Anyway, very nice to see Harden on here. It’s a shame he’s not in the area anymore, but maybe I’ll get to see him pitch against the Giants on occasion.
…You know, assuming he doesn’t get hurt.
/would knock on my desk if it was made of wood

absolutely adorable! i could stay under the covers forever with that stud!

I have the sense of humor of a 12-year-old boy and I love his last name. I didn’t even realize that he was good-looking. But yes, his bones need to harden a little ;)

Guuuh effing sexy. I prefer him in green, rather than pre-school blue… but hey now that he’s on the Cubs I might get to see him pitch more often.
RagingHarden… as The Dugout would say. xD

I can’t believe you didn’t post the picture of Rich in his skin-tight UnderArmour shorts that has been making the rounds of the internet for years. It is truly the mother of all ass shots. And he has gorgeous legs, too. And an adorable smirk. He looks very … corruptible.

word, Trish. I’m emailing it to the ladies right now….

Many thanks, June and Trish. The picture has been added.
