Baseball, Books and ‘Roids
by Steve Hill on April 03, 2006
I love April. April brings spring and spring means baseball. But all I’ve been hearing about as far as baseball goes is steroids, steroids, steroids.
So I got to thinking, what if my my skinny little book was on steroids? Now I work out at the gym everyday. I’ve seen guys on steroids so huge that I look about as muscular as Natalie Portman standing next to them. Not natural, no way. And obviously bad for you, not to mention illegal. BUT, the way I figure it, steroids for my book could ONLY be beneficial, no drawbacks or side effects whatsoever! Right?
Imagine A Voice Above The Din on some Testosterone or Dianabol or HGH! Why it would bulk up from a wimpy 287 pages to a muscular, record-breaking 700 or 750. Awesome!
Not only that, it’s existing body fat of excessive verbiage would slim down from it’s current 21% to a single digit 6 or 7 %. Ripped!
Instead of languishing unnoticed on a (cob)web storefront, it would bound into bookstores all over the country, knocking that Dan Brown wimp off his high horse.
Its current ranking of “0” on AMAZON would sprint to number 1, shocking all other lame duck minor league fictions into google-eyed envy wondering where the heck it came from!
And last but not least, Tom Cruise would buy its movie rights, catapulting it into the Barry-Bonds-You-Can’t-Touch-Me-Because-I’m-A-Superstar Oscar hall of fame!
Then I wouldn’t have to work anymore and I could sit around watching baseball all day. How cool would that be!
Okay Terrific,
Steve
