Baseball Player Jurickson Profar And Water Don't Mix

Strange but true.

When we ask you about your feelings towards water, what's the first thing that pops into your head? We're pretty sure that one of the last things you would say is that "you don't like it," right? Well, believe it or not, that's exactly the way rookie player for the Texas Rangers, Jurickson Profar, feels about the H2O. Check out the reasoning he gave in a recent radio interview with KTCK-AM in Dallas:

Oh, I don’t like water. Water is for sharks and stuff … I always watch Discovery Channel and stuff and I see those sharks and I get scared.

Unfortunately for Profar, his dislike for water can't last for too long since the human body can only last 3-5 days without it. Of course, the body can longer without other necessities, like showering, but we don't advise that.
