Matt Wieters > Chuck Norris + Jack Bauer

Even Atheists Believe In Matt Wieters.

Ok, maybe that's not true but the downtrodden fans of Baltimore have pinned their hopes of a rebirth on Matt Wieters.

Wieters, a switch-hitting catcher that has had scouts salivating the past couple of years had a torrid spring for the Orioles before being sent to Class AAA Norfolk to start the year. At some point this season Wieters will be called up but right now, many think he's good enough to be one of the top 10 catchers in the game and if you're familiar with the website www.mattwietersfacts.com you think Matt Wieters Is So Damn Good That Even His Intangibles Are Tangible.

The site offers fan-generated quips on the greatness of being that is Matt Wieters, putting him in the same pantheon of pop culture as Chuck Norris and Jack Bauer.
