Bootylicious!

Move over, Miss Cleo.  Want to be able to tell a baseball player's future?  Look at his ass.  Yes, seriously.  According to this article, a baseball player's ass can help a scout determine whether that player's gonna be a good prospect or not--and apparently, curvier is a bit better ("Kids with flat butts generally don't fill out much. Kids with a curved butt will add strength to their frame").

Now we know why Halladay, who was discussed in the article, is so damn perfect...he's bootylicious!  ;) 

Next time one of your friends makes fun of you for staring at a ballplayer's ass (What?  This doesn't happen to you?  Just to me?  Oh well...), you can legitimately say you were just trying to gauge how good of a ballplayer he'll be.  Right?  Because isn't that exactly what you were doing?  ;)
