"Take the team that won it last year, Ewa Beach, [Honolulu] Hawaii [pictured above]. If those boys miss a day of shaving, they've got full beards." Roadhouse said the boys' steroid use has other negative consequences. "I've seen college girls hit on these boys only to recoil in shock when the boys open their mouths and speak to them in their high-pitched, girlish voices."

"Yes, doubles and triples are too scarce, but it's because those behemoths are smacking the ball over the fence every time they get wood on it."
