Jeremy Affeldt: Master Of Irony

Having wealth does not make it immoral to comment on the prices in a grocery store, or to complain about being over charged.

What would you have him say?

LOL, just went to whole foods and gave the cashier $200 extra for her time – its just paper to me LOLROFLzOMG!

Swing and a miss, Rob.

Of all the players to go after for being out of touch, you go after one who in December spearheaded a school program that packaged 130,000 meals and shipped them off to poor villages in Africa. He’s one of the more outspoken voices in the baseball community on matters of charity, and is extremely active in campaigning against human trafficking.

I’m going to hazard a guess and say that Jeremy has done more for his community, particularly for the poor and vulnerable, than you ever have. So you might want to chiggegy-check yourself before you wreck yourself. Though Jeremy is probably too nice to say that to your face.

Thus, spending the holiday distributing free turkeys or ladling gravy at a homeless shelter isn’t enough for Affeldt. The Giants left-hander, who has devoted much of his life to helping the less fortunate, is looking beyond Thanksgiving. He has helped organize “Something to Eat,” an effort to send 135,000 meals to eastern Kenya in the famine-stricken Horn of Africa.
