"I knew how to grow the stuff. I was as adept at it as I was playing baseball." - on his 1985 and 1988 convictions for growing marijuana

So I see Juan Uribe is into botany!

Chris Perez busted for marijuana possession

Actually considering it's Perez, I'm mildly surprised it wasn't something stronger.

Why waste the seeds?

On this date in 1976, Angels' groundskeepers find hundreds of maria plants in the outfield at Anaheim Stadium. The most likely culprits were rock fans who attended a recent performance by The Who.

"This is my generation baby!"

"I wasn't really turned on by the marijuana gear"

Lady sitting next to me at the Tigers game yesterday who was being "hit on" by a guy in a "pot" shirt and hat.

GUYS, DON'T MAKE THIS MISTAKE!

Just a little tip.

Every time I see Jeff Samardzija...

....I think of that guy in high school who constantly said:

"Hey dude, did you know that George Washington grew marijuana?

He did dude!

And you know dude if he grew it, then he smoked it.

You just know he did, dude!"

Same guy!

Priceless!

A non-ironic message/sign to Lincecum about "lighting up"!

Can't make this stuff up!

Forbes magazine has an article on how Tim Lincecum's endorsement opportunities are ALLEGEDLY hampered because of his past* marijuana use

How naive!

Have they ever heard of High Times magazine?

Do they know how many head shops there are in San Francisco?

What about fast food (munchies!)?

All these businesses need to advertise!

Hello!

*"Past marijuana use". He he.

Does Timmy continue his celebration and excuse himself shortly....

....to retreat to a well-ventilated room in the clubhouse?

You gotta believe that he has scoped out all the rooms in advance.

Joe Foy - flying high

Born today, none other than third baseman Joe Foy.

Joe's career seemed to climax during a doubleheader in 1970. Foy was apparently under the influence of a drug (eventually confirmed to be marijuana) when Mets manager, Gil Hodges started him at third base. The first batter hit a hard ground ball to Foy. He never even saw it, but even after it went by him, he kept punching his glove and yelling, "Hit it to me, hit it to me."*

Look, I do not condone drug use in any form, and that includes marijuana, but you gotta admit, that is pretty freaking funny.

RIP Joe.
