Show r Ramblin' On by Mike Gorrell hemorrhoids would be a subject of widespread discussion? And they are. Nearly everyone in the country pays attention to the World Series, even if the interest does not extend beyond finding out how you did in the series pool at work or wherever. And when the best baseball player in America today has a hemorrhoid attack during the middle of the World Series, so serious in fact that he has to take himself out of a critical game, then people are going to talk about it. And laugh about it. And joke about it. It would be embarrassing enough just haing to tell your friends. Just imagine how youd feel if million people knew you were suffering from a physical ailment that in the not too distant past was talked about only in whispers. Im referring, of course, to the infamous sidelight story coming out of the World Series - George Bretts hemorrhoids. The World Series has consistently generated memorable side stories, but never anything like this. Who would have ever thought that about . . 100 What a bummer, is one play on words Ive heard.

The anchor people at KSL also got into the act, laughing that the term hemorrhoid could never even have been used on the air 10 years ago. When I talked to my grandmother about it, she just giggled and whispered, Mike, thats terrible. How can he play? But my grandmas a pretty big sports fan (cheers for the Denver Broncos every Sunday in the fall), so I didnt really know how widespread knowledge of Bretts condition was until I came to work on Monday. One of my closest associates here at work, Ill call her Ethel, has about as much interest in sports as I have in housecleaning and gourmet cooking. (I eat out a lot and never clean my apartment).

Therein, true fame lies I have a hard time accurately assessing the impact of sports on America because Im too intimately Involved. Cant see the forest for the trees type stuff. But the Ethel Test, I feel is a valid measuring stick. If sports figure can capture the attention, for whatever reason, of that fan, then his fame is practically universal. You may know someone similar to Ethel who still does not know about Bretts condition. Or you might not even care and conclude, as one of my associates did, that this column has bottomed out. J Tax Proposals On Hunter Property (having the whole country know), Brett never would have been able to pass the Ethel Test had it not So, in at least one respect, George Brett should be thankful for his hemorrhoids. Now George has made it. And what can he attribute it to? For years now, Ethel always has served as a sort of barometer for me. If I ask her a question about no matter how an operation, minor?) and the embarrassment Ethel confirmed that for me on Monday. Casually, I asked her what she thought of the World Series. Not much, it turns out, because she hadnt watched any portion of the first five games. But when I asked her if shed heard about George Bretts problem, she knew without a seconds hesitation what I was referring to. Thats the guy with the hemorrhoids, isnt it? she asked, betraying that she didnt really know the guys name but that she did know someone pretty famous had a pretty famous problem that people dont talk about often in public. sports, and she knows something about it, then I assume everyone must know something about it. Id be willing to bet that even the hostages in Iran might have heard through roundabout sources about Bretts condition. But lets return to Ethel. When Brett was seriously threatening to become the first major leaguer since Ted Williams to hit .400, 1 asked Ethel if the Kansas City stars name meant anything to her. No. Should it? Immediately, I knew that as famous as Brett had become, he still had not quite attained the celebrity status of the Ayatollah Khomeini, Artoo-DeetoJohnny Carson or other persons whose names are instantly recognizable by all.
