**LA28’s Wasserman Sees Hope for MLB Players in Olympic Journey Following NFL Approval: A Home Run or a Strikeout?**
In a shocking turn of events, LA28’s very own Olympic czar, Larry “The Legend” Wasserman, has declared that Major League Baseball (MLB) players might finally get their shot at Olympic glory, following the NFL’s recent decision to allow its players to participate in the upcoming games. “It’s about time we let these guys swing for the gold!” Wasserman exclaimed while juggling three baseballs and a football. “I mean, who wouldn’t want to see Aaron Judge hit a home run while simultaneously dodging a linebacker?”
Wasserman’s optimism comes after a series of late-night brainstorming sessions with his pet parrot, Sir Squawks-a-Lot, who reportedly chirped, “Let them play!” in a surprisingly articulate manner. “If the NFL can send their players to the Olympics, why can’t we send our million-dollar prima donnas?” Wasserman added, adjusting his oversized Olympic rings that he insists are “totally not a fashion statement.”
Meanwhile, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred was seen practicing his Olympic wave while wearing a gold medal made of chocolate. “I’m all for it! Just imagine the ratings! We could have a home run derby on a trampoline!” he said, clearly excited about the prospect of players competing in events like synchronized swimming and rhythmic gymnastics. “I mean, who wouldn’t want to see Shohei Ohtani twirl a ribbon while hitting a 500-foot homer?”
As the world waits with bated breath, fans are left wondering: will MLB players trade their bats for javelins? Will they wear cleats in the pool? And most importantly, will we finally see a baseball player attempt the triple axel? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: if Wasserman has his way, the Olympics are about to get a whole lot weirder—and a whole lot funnier.
