While everything going on these days -- the illnesses, the stress on the medical system, the stay-at-home-orders, the loss of mobility and the loss of work -- hits poor and working people harder than it does well-paid professional athletes, the jocks have their own set of challenges too.
For example, Dallas, like almost everyplace else, is under stay-at-home order in response to the pandemic. That means that Texas Rangers slugger Joey Gallo can’t go to Globe Life Field and take his hacks in the batting cage as usual. So what’s a guy in his position to do?

Given how hard Gallo hits the ball, I’m sort of freaking out watching this, worrying that one bad bit of partial contact is going to shatter his windows. But I guess that’s a Joey Gallo problem.
