Mr. August

So in continuation of my Hottie-of-the-Month club, I now give you Mr. August – Atlanta Braves Right Fielder Jeff Francoeur. Jeff Francoeur affectionately known as Frenchy currently leads the Braves in RBI’s with 76 and definitely leads the Braves with the nicest posterior.

Francoeur was a 2002 graduate of Parkview High School where he led Parkview to the Georgia State 5-A championship in baseball and was also a star football player at wide receiver and cornerback, leading his high school team to two undefeated seasons in 2000 and 2001, which included back to back state championships. In his senior year of high school, Francoeur pulled in an amazing 15 interceptions on defense, while catching 14 touchdown passes on offense. Francoeur turned down a full football scholarship at Clemson University to pursue a career in baseball, even though he had already signed a Letter of Intent. Francoeur also received interest from Mississippi and Notre Dame.

Not only is he talented and hot, he’s also one of the athletes out their that can be seen supporting various causes. On Mother’s Day in 2006 he was one of 50 MLB players to use a pink baseball bat to benefit the Breast Cancer Foundation.

When a friend of mine recently made a trip down to the big ATL, he asked me if I wanted him to bring me anything back from the Braves game. I only made one request and that was Frenchy himself. While I was denied that pleasure, I am happy to announce Jeff as the August Sports Hottie of the Month.
