Shaquille O’Neal swears he was once a T-ball all-star and a high school first baseman with the “world’s biggest strike zone.” While promoting his upcoming ABC show that pits him against other athletes, the 7-foot-1, 325-pound O’Neal was joined by St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols to discuss their home run derby. Pujols leads the majors in home runs, but Shaq is clearly king of the one-liners. Baseball nickname? “When I was little, I was known as Shaqqie Robinson.” O’Neal also promised there would be no head games with Pujols, noting, “Usually I try to get into the mind of my opponent, but I don’t think it’s wise to talk smack to a man who always has a bat in his hands.” The Associated Press
