10 Biggest Potheads in Baseball
Back in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s the field might as well have been lined with cocaine rather than chalk with the number of players that were in to the nose candy back then. During the 90s and the 2000s its been steroids. Yet, there is another drug that has been a player favorite for years. I’m talking about marijuana folks. Players liked it so much that they even made sure it was not included in the list of drugs they would be tested for back in 2002. Find out which of your favorite players are also huge stoners.
1. Tim Lincecum
When you win two CY Young Awards in a row you have to expect people to be looking for you to screw up. Speeding would have barely made a blip on the media’s radar. Police could smell the pot when they approached his car and Lincecum handed it right over on request.
These guys did not win a whole lot that year and according to reports they were likely not too worried about it. Apparently a vast number of players on the team would smoke up before games — sure must have made it difficult to hit those 95 mph fast balls.
3. Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington
In 2009 Washington failed a drug test for cocaine use. He would later admit to being an avid marijuana and amphetamine user during his playing days. He must have figured that since he didn’t get fired for doing coke he might as well spill his guts—makes for more interesting headlines.
4. Geovany Soto
Apparently he did not get the memo after Freddy Garcia got busted prior to the 2006 World Baseball Classic. Prior to the 2009 WBC it was Geovany Soto’s turn; at least that explains why his production dropped off that season.
5. Paul Molitor
When you’re nicknamed Molly the Ignitor it could either be because you tend to ignite the team to victory or because you tend to light something else up and act like a little girl afterwards.
6. Bill “Spaceman” Lee
Back in the 1970′s with most of baseball into the white stuff or ‘greenies’ (methamphetamines) Spaceman was into something else. Not only did he enjoy smoking it, but he even admitted to adding it to his pancakes. In 1973 he did pretty well too; he ended up going 17-11 with a 2.75 ERA and made the All-Star team. The next year he led the league in hits allowed, just trying to spread the love, right Spaceman?
7. Dmitri Young
The former major leaguer was caught in possession while going through an Illinois Airport recently. Feeling the need to come clean, he told reporters that he has been in pain and having trouble dealing with his mother’s death recently. Since he has been in rehab before he did not want to do other drugs so his doctors supposedly told him to smoke pot. Right.
8. Jeremy Giambi
Maybe he was jealous of his brother, maybe he was a little over-confident in his celebrity, but back in 2001 the other Giambi was busted with marijuana at a Las Vegas Airport. Like his brother, he eventually admitted to doing steroids as well.
9. Jeff Weaver
The current LA Dodger pitcher started his baseball career with the Tigers and was the opening day starter for the team back in 2001 and 2002. Supposedly there was a few times where the young pitcher would step out of the bathroom on the team plane followed by a cloud of funky smelling smoke.
10. Orlando Cepeda
The Hall of Famer and community representative for the San Francisco Giants was busted in possession of marijuana and other drugs in a traffic stop back in 2007. Like Lincecum, the officer could smell marijuana when approaching the car. Maybe if he had talked to Tim Lincecum back then history could have avoided repeating itself a couple of years later.

It has been documented that Travis Pulver was once caught performing fellatio on a dog.
Imagine how many times he did that without being caught?
The fat kid is a sicko.
This is a great post. it seems like pot smokers are everywhere. Just ask Fireviews
ross robigliotti got to keep his medal for snowboarding in the olympics because if anything, pot will affect your performance negatively. Now dont get me wrong, I think i play lots of sports better on pot. More concentration once you star "equallizing" or slightly coming down.
Where's Jayson Werth?
he's out buying more grow lights

c o m..The new update, a large hot ..
WE ACCEPT PYAPAL PAYMENT.
YOU MUST NOT MISS IT!!
Lincecum is a pot head? My god that is the shock of the century. All jokes aside, one glance at that dude and you can see that pot head is written all over his face.
umm….Manny Ramirez?????
I can't tell if this is a steroids/cocaine list or a pothead list. Get it together, bros
AGREE – Manny is a glaring omission on this list. Just because he never got arrested for it doesn't mean it wasn't OBVIOUS.
They forgot Ricky Williams
duh dude, lay down the bong yourself, the story is biggest potheads in baseball, not all sports!
Michael "coke machine" Irvin
Oops, I forgot it was the biggest potheads in baseball and not all of sports. My Mistake.
Where's Tug McGraw, who supposedly said when a reporter asked him if he preferred grass or AstroTurf, "I dunno, I never smoked AstroTurf!"
Wow, sorry. I'm still getting over the shock that Tim Lincecum smokes weed!
i being a past pothead starting a 12 years old and stoping at the tender age of 54 can tell you my life has been spent firing one after another .However iit was a gateway to every drug known tomankind except xtacz.I have been in ans out of rehabes from coke to herion.Ihope that everyone can keepit under control,the funny thing to all thie is one of my doctors has told mme that smoking pot willhelp my bi-polar disorder and mt eyesight.I considerd it and the BONG has helped me relax and redouce the pressure in my eyes .So in my humble keep it to weed and enjoy a stress free day that you can see clearly. this is the truth jyst keep it to the buds bud
It's not a gateway drug though, you CHOSE to do those other drugs. Doctors prescribe marijuana every day to people who NEVER move on to harder drugs, it all depends on the specific person, and that translates to WILL POWER and CHOICE. Just because one thing happened before the other does not mean that it CAUSED it.
And by the way, I've tried a lot of drugs, normally without the use of marijuana, and I haven't cared for any of them, they were all one and done. Coke and acid and many other things barely seem to effect me, and alcohol effects me too much.
Very good post…….been there done that..!!
Wow! I've never seen anyone shout things like "willpower" and "choice" and "never" with such force, except for my pot addicted dad! He's not very secure either. So, name me a couple of doctors that prescribe pot and I'll name many, many more who decry it as a bogus pain killer with zero health benefits, but rather as a heavy tar-bearing, cancer causing agent. People, if you want to get high, just admit it and do it. Don't waste your time trying get sensible people to buy into your B.S.! Just have the cajones to say your going to smoke, drink, snort or whatever it is your to weak to simply admit you like doing!
Folks, all you've got to do is read Andrew, here, to see the results of smokin pot! Hilarious!
ahhhh … who really cares if the enjoy 4:20 ???
i have smoked pot since i was 13 an now being 24 i dont know where everyone gets this notion that pot is a gateway drug to others i have never done anything besides pot. pot is not a gateway drug only if you allow it to be trying to chase the ultimate high is your problem not everyone elses and because of that now marijuana will always have that gateway tag……… pot will one day be legal
RIGHT ON! Alcohol is the real gateway drug . . .if there is one. My stepdad caught me smoking a joint and in his infinite wisdom he told me" Son, don't do drugs, If you have to do some thing, DRINK, but do not smoke." I think he has 7 DUII's, wrecked 2 families, 15 cars and my mother. How many violent crimes are commited while a person is high on pot, very few, but with booze it must be in the 90 percentile.
Quite a few violent crimes are committed on pot and other drugs. I work as a DUI counselor, and have worked with plenty of clients busted for driving under the influence (hence, DUI – duh!) of marijuana! Whadda ya know?!
Apparently pot causes run-on sentences, though
I am the same way i only smoke weed and its not a gateway drug cause i haven't done anything except it .
uuuugggghhhh…. i smoke but pot aint a gateway drug cause i've never written a proper sentence in my life……he…..he…….he!
ughhh….pot is not a gateway drug only if you allow it to be trying to chase the ultimate lack of ability to actually puntuate a sentence but what would that matter if your ultimate high is pot and you've never puntuated a sentence in your life you but only spent so much time smoking it you never knew what a run on sentence looked like or a run on life or run on brain for that matter………duh……doy…..huh……..im high right now……..!!!!!
Ron, have you ever wanted your own collective??? owner financing is an option.
Call me at 1-888-705-7770 for more info. ANYWHERE IN THE 15 LEGAL STATE'S
haha well…i live 1 city next to timmy lincecum and in marin county we have the best trees to roll up in america. Ever heard of Bolinas??? ha
Jayson Werth has long hair so he must smoke.
Idiot.
Cool…I knew there was something about these guys that I liked.
They should just make it leagal and be done with it payoff the deficit and have money to spare america and it would create jobs and relieve people in pain its a win win everyway u look at it 420 forever!
Don't Legalize, Decriminalize.
