On the off chance that my frequent and excited babble over Diamondbacks catcher Chris Snyder hasn't made it abundantly clear, let me just state for the record that, yes, it's true, I've got a massive thing for catchers! I don't know if it's because good catchers are smart, and I'm a sucker for a smart man, or if it's the amazing thighs and ass that come of all those hours squatting, but whatever the reason I love me some hotass catchers!!! ♥ So, since catchers and pitchers report this week (!!!), today's installment of The Hot Men of the MLB features ( HOTASS CATCHERS!!! )

It's sometimes hard to see the man buried underneath all of that catcher's equipment, so I hope y'all can now better appreciate the sexiness that can be found behind home plate! *g*

If you missed the earlier edition of "The Hot Men of MLB," volume 1 is here.

And finally, if you're like me and you've found yourself lamenting the fact that April is still almost two months away, you might like these 'Is it April yet?' icons by awkwardiconic. I have the feeling that I'll be using them a lot between now and Opening Day.
