Athletes modeling underwear is not a new trend. Hello, David Beckham. But now that Washington Nationals breakout athlete, Bryce Harper, is modeling underwear, we thought we’d look back on the (short) history of baseball players who have dropped their pants. Seriously, it’s a short list. With so many fine legs (and rears) in the sport, we’re surprised more haven’t been recruited to bare all.
1. Bryce Harper, Washington Nationals
2. Jim Palmer, Baltimore Orioles (Retired)
3. Russell Martin, Pittsburgh Pirates
4. Lee Taek-Keun, Nexen Heroes (Korea)
5. Yu Darvish, Texas Rangers
Bonus: Matt Kemp, Los Angeles Dodgers*
*Not so much an underwear model as just super sexy in this photoshoot for Flaunt magazine.

Why aren’t Lee Taek-Keun and Yu Darvish tagged, and why is only MLB tagged and not KBO?

When I was a kid they used to have posters of Jim Palmer in his bikini underwear in the store. I may have been 5 or 6 and I remember I would just stare at that poster everytime I would go to that store and just be so aroused. I think that may be one the first times I realized I was gay.

Is Bryce wearing his magic Mormon underwear under those? Or do those count as magic underwear?

LDS don’t wear their “magic underwear” unless and until they’re married in a Temple. Let’s try not to be both snide and ignorant.

Russell Martin is even hotter than I thought. What a beautiful body.
I wish we could see more of Lee’s body too.
Matt Kemp looks like he’s more of a grower than a shower, but that handsome face makes up for it.

Very nice looking men, but I wonder what their positions on LGBT issues are?
Thanks for sharing!
