A little bit of levity with baseball spring training starting, courtesy of reader Dan — photos of San Diego Padres relief pitcher Huston Street looking terrific in a swimsuit. Plus, a shot of him cross-dressing (probably rookie hazing) and one of him with the ladies. From the San Diego sports website Lobshots:
I have zero problem with any of these pics. Cross-dressing is a must for rookie-hazing…or halloween for that matter. Speedos are a must, well no where, except for an Olympic swimming pool, but I still have no problem with you rockin’ ‘em. If you got it, flaunt it.
The blog In The Game also notes what a romantic Street is (either that or he watches too much of “The Bachelor”):
When he proposed to his girlfriend 4 years ago, he did so in a room filled with 1,500 red roses. He was just 23 at the time, but said “If I’ve found the right person, why wait? To find someone I like more? No. That’s not going to happen.”

“Speedos are a must, well no where, except for an Olympic swimming pool”
Ah, straight men and their fear of the speedo. Good for Street for wearing one with no shame!

You mean the American straight men’s fear of the speedo. Go to any European or South American country and you won’t see those long, baggy as hell board shorts, and if you wear them there you will be looked at like a clown. Thank god for countries outside of this one when it comes to stuff like this. Nothing hotter than walking the beaches in Ipanema or Mykonos in a speedo and seeing all the other speedo clad men walking around.

I don’t get the whole speedo hangup. and it seems a lot of women don’t like them on men, too. Yeesh.

Hutson Street looks great in his suit but I prefer a little bounce. I feel sorry for the jewels when the cock has to hug the balls so tightly. Let the boys hang loose and have some fun. A guy in trunks bouncing on the beach is hotter than the poor boys all bundled up in a cock restraint.

Bring back the old style speedo trunks ASAP!!!
Racer briefs -as they are called in swimming- were the standard before the ’90s and no one thought twice about guys wearing them at the pool.
So how in the hell did they become so stigmatized??? It was obviously the anti-gay movement and a bunch of other puritans and prudes.
However today’s Long ‘N’ Baggy men’s swim suits (and basketball “shorts” that resemble a woman’s skirt) look just plain AWFUL.
