PrintI know this isn't really Mariners-related, but it is baseball related. The NY Times has a piece on Julio Franco, highlighting some of his odd dietary practices. Including eating six meals a day.
Some choice parts:
"A few minutes before 7 a.m. Tuesday, Julio Franco greeted a visitor to his apartment with the news that he had eaten 14 egg whites for breakfast.
But he was still hungry. A plate loaded with oatmeal awaited him, as did a banana and a glass of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, and still Franco wanted more egg whites."
He also drinks "a liquid concoction made from beets, cauliflower, celery, broccoli, garlic, onions and an apple."
Mmmm...tasty.

Well
Six meals a day, BTW, is often suggested as ideal, in eating six smaller meals rather than three larger meals. This is supposed to keep the metabolism high.
