Baseball player Josh Reddick is no stranger to celebrating life’s occasional peaks in a Speedo — it’s what he does, it’s what he knows, it’s what he has a passion for.

Last month, the Astros beat the Mariners to win the AL West crown; an anticipated victory Reddick nevertheless chose to commemorate by slamming beer, wearing a pair of conspicuously kicky goggles, and yes, donning tight-fitting lycra swimwear.

Well guess what? He’s done it again — and in the same stars-and-stripes bikini that is rapidly becoming his calling card.
Yurp…. after The Astros beat the Boston Red in Game 4 of the American League Division Series — which means they’ll be advancing to the American League Championships — the team celebrated by dousing Reddick is beer while he strutted around in his soon-to-be-iconic brief.
Here’s how that went:

By now, Reddick is an old hand at partying hard in skimpy bottoms.
He pulled the same stunt last year while still in the Dodgers, after L.A. beat Washington in the National League Division Series.
And then there was the (literally) out-there, decidedly not-safe-for-work moment when his choice of underwear did not effectively cover rather important segments of his anatomy.
In conclusion, we hope more athletes — and in fact, the male species as a whole — finally decide to take a page from Reddick and begin living more and more of their lives in tight fitting-Speedo swimwear with patriotic stars-and-stripes design details. After all, it’s 2017.

Straight men. Sigh. Their motivations are so transparent. In an effort to hide their attraction for their fellow teammate, these guys “spray” them with liquor. It’s a delightful metaphor for what they really ache to do to him.

Exactly what I was thinking. Click the last link to see how he loves to show his package, spread his legs laying on his back with legs spread. OMG, He wants them all to jo and spray all over him. Ah, enjoy these ‘straight’ men who lack self awareness. Makes us smile 🙂

You’re one of those gays that is under the delusion that straight men have gay tendencies. That’s just a fantasy on your part. They would never partake in gay romping when it comes down to it anymore than you would with a woman. Still it’s nice to fantasize that they would. It would be hot, but would never happen in reality.

Well you noticed most were wearing those Virtual Reality goggles, right? So what *we* see are some guys celebrating a victory in the locker room with spurts of champagne.
What *they* see, thru their goggles, is basically a Bukkake Party.

batesmotel, I know they wouldn’t act on it…and the behavior is very homoerotic like in a lot of sports. The gay community would do well to not judge, separate and stereotype so quickly. The way our mental filters parse out lots of things before we think we know someone is a good thing to be aware of. This is a light-hearted fun post to play with. That’s it.

I think a better (and far more mature) approach would have been for Queerty to condemn this as an actual act of disrespecting the flag (as opposed to the reverential act of kneeling by NFL players and some other athletes).
The praise (indeed, encouragement) of this behaviour betrays the racism that is alive and well in the USA, along with the inherent double standard that exists with racist people and their actions.
Shame on Queerty and David Grant for being so infantile and for not taking a stand.

Fail. You’re trying too hard Troll.
batesmotel
Huh?

He’s right

Some guys need so much attention. Harmless fun and he’s got a nice bod. Maybe next time he gets his trunks pulled off.

When he was with boston I used to you know what to his ball card. … hahaha. Hes freaking HAF. He also had plate music that used George Michael’s Careless Whisper. I’d love to have a guy like him. I hope he’s not homophobic and actually does this to be supportive of having fun and saying there’s nothing wrong with guy’s doing stuff like this. I wish someone knew and told me he isn’t a jerk jock because he seems awesome and caring about the community.
batesmotel
Hot straight men. Definitely straight.
Kieran
If he were openly gay the guys wouldn’t be able to do this to him.
Josh447
If you think not one or more of those guys doesn’t want to take him down for a hot f@ck fest, think again! If a str8 guy would do Brad Pit … Mr. Underpants is certainly no less hot. Great intro to a hot porn.

Women are bigger attention-seekers than men. They wear mini-skirts when it’s cold.
This Reddick guy is simply having a bit of harmless fun for a few minutes.
Most queens probably don’t understand the male bonding and male joy in such victory scenarios. I mean, can you even throw a ball without looking funny?
MikeM
The same code for flag etiquette that says kneeling during the anthem is disrespectful dictates that the wearing of the flag as an article of clothing is equally disrespectful.
mujerado
He’s not wearing a flag or anything made from a flag. He’s wearing a Speedo designed with the flag iconography of stars and stripes. And there is no binding or official code of flag etiquette that even mentions kneeling. In both cases, the offense is only in the eye of the beholder.
Bradsman
Now that’s what I call a nice body! Fit but not overly worked out.
baal61
Why the speedo’ and later they pissed on him’ lol
Mike999
That video is about as sexy as a car wash.
draven
I’m gay but straight men in a locker room having a celebration is not a turn on for me. It’s cool tho….. that they’re having fun but this isn’t erotic. Kinda yuck and dude in speedo is pale as flour. I rather see the hot brown or black baseball player in the speedo.

And then I was twelve . . .
