Especially when they are trying to steal second base. Can you picture one on first while the pitcher gets ready? I'll bet Bumgarner would pick him off before he could move one step.

I bet not, I would bet that the Sumo wresters are faster in short distance than baseball players my a mile. Stealing bases, no sumo too slow, but stepping off the bag and back on he'll beat the pitcher.
I've really gotten into Sumo, I have to say, I do love baseball, but sumo is totally fascinating. The Mongolians are the kings at the moment, the source of much pride back in Ulan Bator!
I grew up in LA and even though I lived in San Francisco for 25 years I could never bring myself to embrace the Giants, not even one tiny bit. They are rivals, I particularly disliked Barry Bonds. That said, I think the Dodgers suck, but if you grow up a Dodgers fan there is no way you can become a Giants fan if Dodgermania was imprinted on you at a young age.
When I was a kid Barry Bonds' dad, Bobby Bonds played for the Giants and he would of course come to LA to play with the team. I liked Bobby Bonds, he was a fine ball player. And of course one could almost change to being a Giants for historical reasons, I adore Willie Mays, but here's the rub; I almost got into the Giants a few years back, but it was those damn beards. Not anything wrong with a beard, but those long beards became a "hipster" thing and it was so trendy and conformist I could not see the beard worn for fierceness, it just looked silly and oafish.
HA! However the Giants do play pretty good ball, but they will never be 'my' team. I'm going with the Mongolians.
