Carlos Lee's Heart Is With Cows

You know what would make me nervous? If I was the fan of a baseball team that had just spent $100 million on an outfielder that probably wasn't worth anywhere close to that kind of cash and then someone said something like this about him:

"He's a cattleman; he's a calf roper; he's a horseman," said Skip Wagner, president of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. "I think he plays baseball because he's great at it and everything. But you can tell his heart is in the West with horses and cattle."

Anyways, for some context, Carlos Lee showed up at the Grand Entry of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo on Thursday and rubbed elbows with ex-President Bush and his family among others. And on top of it all, the article opened with a great paragraph that's still making me giggle after reading it like seven times.

As Carlos Lee mounted a gray quarter horse for the Grand Entry festivities at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo on Thursday night, several cowboys fixed their eyes on him to see if he was truly a horseman or merely a celebrity posing as one.

Yeah. I'm still 12 years old. Get over it.
