From www.nbcwashington.com- If you’ve been wondering why Melky Cabrera slipped so much during the 2008 season, the answer may be because he was spending too much time eating peanuts in hotel rooms while being interviewed by porn stars.

That’s right, it seems A-Rod isn’t the only Yankee with a taste for the seamier feminine charms. The following video, courtesy of TerezOwens.com,

www.nbcwashington.com/sports/baseball/The-Strangest-Melky-Cabrera-Interview-Ever.html

features Cabrera and porn star Mary Carey, whose name would appear to be a reference to former Derek Jeter flame Mariah Carey, chatting about various topics. Not discussed is what a professional baseball player is doing in a hotel room with a porn star in a robe, but you can draw your own conclusions. Cabrera does make it clear that he’s heterosexual, however.

That’s one honey of a farmer’s tan that Cabrera is rocking. While he can’t take the field without a shirt, perhaps he should spend a little more time at the tanning salon instead of relaxing in dark hotel rooms with porn stars. Since the video is old, Cabrera switched from number 28 to 53 this season, perhaps a change in lifestyle is to thank for Cabrera’s improved play this season.
