1. Now that's just not fair.

I've heard heavy steroid use can irritate the trachea, causing swelling. It would be much easier to choke in that condition. QUIT PICKING ON AN AMERICAN HERO!!!

3. A very uncomfortable Uniform

9. baseball is a 25 player team

he played very well in the world series he played in. Charles barkley didn't win the big one was he a bad player or were Jordan's teams just better. It is hard to apply choker to team sports.
