A BATBOY FOR THE \\\\\\\"YANKS\\\\\\\"
Hi my name is Bobby I am the batboy for the New York YANKEES.I love being the batboy for the \\\\\\\"Yanks\\\\\\\".I enjoy it but theres one thing that always barthers me it is when the players barther me because I am fat and because I am fat I cannot
work as fast as a skinnier person,they always criticize
