Malone has decided to take up baseball again, a sport that he played in highschool in Monroe La. Karl decided that his family comes first now, and they wanted him to stay in the LA area, so his only choices were the Lakers, the Clippers, the Dodgers or the Angels.
Said Malone, " I was in quite the quandary, I could not see myself playing for the Clippers, as they have no playoff history." "But even worse, I did not want to subject my family to having to watch the Lakers play this year, because they are going to be horrible, and it would be unfair for me to subject them to watching them play 82 games."
The Anaheim Angels are going to use Malone as the DH/ batboy for the first few months and then re-evalaute his status by the AllStar break. Said Malone, "I will work my butt off to be the best batboy that the team has ever had, and I am very pleased in this role." " I just thank God that I am no longer going to have to beg for the ball from Kobe ever again, this batboy/DH is so much better for my self image.":p
