A Mixtape for Joba Chamberlain

The Yankees organization has known for years that they have something special in Joba Chamberlain. They were reminded of this again last week, as it takes a truly special “athlete” to give themselves not just a season ending, but a life threatening, injury jumping on a trampoline, and that’s the claim Chamberlain is making about the open dislocation of his ankle he suffered. Because of this ability to nearly kill himself doing something small children and NBA mascots do on a regular basis, I have decided to honor the Yankees reliever with his very own mixtape.

Joba should take heart, even if he can’t pitch this season, at least his dancing days aren’t over. He just needs to take some lessons from Lisa Turtle.
