Cardinals lefty reliever Steve Kline--he of the nastiest cap in the majors--missed a few games early in spring training with gout.
I didn't think people got gout anymore. Sure, the wealthy used to, because they ate terribly and way too much. Ben Franklin, you may remember, had a little talk with his gout. But nowadays?
And even more impressive: Steve Kline says he gets a case of the gout every spring. What do you think that man eats?
I suppose it's not the weirdest ailment to sideline a ballplayer. Remember when the versatile, arachnaphobic Glenallen Hill was injured waking up from a nightmare about spiders?
Oh, and if you've been wondering how much better advertisements for some products would be if Steve Kline were pitching them, the Internet, as always, is here to remind you that someone's already thought of everything.
