ESPN’s 2014 Body Issue comes out this week. And prior to its release, some of the covers have been strategically leaked. One coverboy drawing great interest is Texas Rangers first baseman Prince Fielder.
Much like the Dove real beauty campaign, Prince Fielder has put a new shape on a magazine…only this time, for males. Posing nude, Fielder proudly represents the men with buddha abs, toddler thighs, and sweet cheeks (four of them).
As a female with a backside, the one (and only) thing I can thank the Kardashians for is changing the image of a woman’s body in society. See ya, Kate Moss! Don’t let the door hit your skeletal ass on the way out…
No, you probably won’t see Prince Fielder wearing skinny jeans and Uggs like some of the cool cats we know. But, as women have discovered…skinny jeans are not for everyone.
Representing the National Football League are Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald…
And giving new meaning to BEASTMODE, Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch (who, funny enough, is too shy to speak to the media).
I personally love Prince Fielder’s cover. I think he’s adorable. And I love ESPN for using it.
It also backs up my theory that baseball players are the least athletic and most overpaid athletes in professional sports. But, that’s just me.
Still, Fielder hits a home run as a model.
Because happy and confident is always sexy.
