Freddy Garcia’s Jersey is No Place For Your Gum

↵↵⇥↵⇥↵⇥↵⇥↵⇥↵⇥↵⇥↵⇥↵⇥↵⇥↵↵

↵↵This happened on Wednesday night, but we wanted to let our disgust subside before we forced it on you. When pulling Freddy Garcia in the 7th inning of the White Sox 9-2 win over the Royals, Ozzie Guillen not only seized the ball from his starting pitcher but deposited his gum on Garcia’s jersey. Garcia looks disturbed and with good reason. What he would have remembered simply as his first victory of the 2010 season will instead become the time Ozzie Guillen stuck his gum on his chest.↵

↵↵If anything, Freddy Garcia should just be glad there’s no smoking in baseball. Would anyone put it past Ozzie putting out a butt on a player?↵
