Baseball Muscle Hunk: Gabe Kapler, Shirtless

OMG. Gabe Kapler is the cutest. And what a hunk of a man. We’re in lurve. For those who, like us, are just discovering Gabe Kapler here’s some interesting tidbits about him from wikipedia:

Gabriel “Gabe” Stefan Kapler (born August 31, 1975, in Hollywood, California) is a Major League Baseball outfielder for the Tampa Bay Rays. He has also played portions of nine seasons in Major League Baseball with the Detroit Tigers, Texas Rangers, Colorado Rockies, Boston Red Sox, and Milwaukee Brewers. He is 6 feet 2 inches tall, and weighs 188 lbs.

Kapler is well-known in baseball for his extraordinary musculature. Bob Ryan once wrote a column in which he nicknamed Kapler “The Body,” and mused on the fact that, traditionally, bodybuilder-type physiques have not been considered desirable for baseball players (as speed and reflexes are more important than muscle).This same muscularity has become a part of pop-culture and a staple among Boston fans. His musculature and shirtless photos have made Kapler a favorite of those inclined to appreciate such things.
