root, root, root for the home team
no, I get it, but why?
GM offers
to get
prostate exam
during game
Andy Milovich has offered to go this week where no man has gone before: A prostate exam in front of a full stadium of fans.
Milovich, the general manager of the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, the Single-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers, offered to have the exam while singing “Take Me Out To The Ballgame” during the seventh inning stretch if local 10-year-old Fallon Emery, who has brain cancer, gets 10,000 likes on her Facebook page before the game.
“It's not like I would be getting it at home plate,” Milovich said. “I'll likely do it from our radio booth and the fans will see me from the shoulder up.”
Okay…
No, it's about there being no shame surrounding issues of men's health, so I understand that, and it's not (necessarily) about the prurient interest.
Here's the sticking point: yet and still, a guy is going to get something up the ass in public somewhere other than a dungeon, a bathhouse or a porn set.
But I definitely appreciate the sentiment. It's not a colonoscopy on national television, but it's right up there.
(Seriously, though, getting the exam while singing could get more than a little dicey.)
