The Curious Case Of Billy Butler

Everybody's favorite whipping boy these days, the main images of Billy Butler these days are of a guy rolling his eyes over a strike call, rolling over to hit a DP ball to 3B, ripping a liner right at an outfielder, or looking like a cartoon character frantically running place in an effort to get somewhere.

In the movies, a character can age in reverse or at 10x their chronological rate. In real life, at age 29 Butler is either aging too quickly or else he is, at the very least, causing A's fans to do so.
