OT: Can Baseball Players Like The Office??

Fellow Missourians,

I brought this up over at Royals Review and felt like I might find some sympathetic minds over here... I promise not to mention Don D...

Here's the gist of it:

1. According to the Royals fake "blog" some random players and FO types (including Frank White) watched "several" episodes of "The Office".

  1. I find this bizarre because:
  2. At the heart of "The Office" lies a kind of despair that most jocks seemingly never experience: unrequited love, a horrible job, being lonely. Put it this way, they don't even have an office.
Anyway, here's the original post, which fleshes this out in moderately larger detail:

Maybe if pro-baseball players can find "The Office" funny its a sure sign that the show is getting too zany and sitcomy. Or maybe I'm just selling them short.

Or maybe its their way of assimilating with our world... Or maybe its good pillow talk fodder with the groupies in Milwaukee... I don't know.
