While his former teammates on the football team struggled to a 5-5 record, and head coach Roger Hughes' job security fell faster than Jeremy Giambi's dignity, senior B.J. Szymanski spent his time doing something that actually made Princetonians proud — proving that you can play baseball with a turkey.
Szymanski was not allowed to play football this year because of an honor code violation. Oh wait, he's one of the few athletes taking time off for some other reason.

While he has only been at the sport for a little over three months, the former gridiron standout has racked up numerous awards — Butterball Employee Choice award, VHI's Best Actor/Model award, and a Vibe award.
For his amazing ability at hitting a turkey, Szymanski has been named the 'Prince' Athlete of the Semester. This article is part of The Daily Princetonian's 2005 Joke Issue.
