Who ever said you can't be healthy while sitting on the couch eating potato chips?
Cubs pitcher Jason Hammel credits potato chips with helping him avoid cramps that have plagued him recently.
Hammel had to be removed from his Memorial Day start against the Los Angeles Dodgers with a cramping issue even though he said he felt like he drank the equivalent of Lake Michigan prior to that outing.
After tossing six brilliant innings against the Texas Rangers to open his second half Saturday, Hammel said his doctor actually had the unconventional prescription of potato chips to combat the cramping.
