8.33-inches is recognized by Guinness World Records as the tallest man
in the U.S., and George Bell, a 7-foot-8, former Harlem Globetrotter.
Neither Vovkovinskiy nor Bell have been following the Giants, and they
don't have a big interest in the World Series.
"To be honest, I haven't watched baseball in a few years," Vovkovinskiy
told HuffPost. "It's too slow. I prefer hockey, football or soccer."
Unlike Native Americans who say the Washington Redskins' team name
is a racial slur, Bell is not offended by the Bay Area baseball club.
an Francisco's star catcher Buster Posey and the other Giants aren't getting
much love from 7-foot-4 Dave Rasmussen, who hails from Milwaukee.
"I'm aligned with the Brewers and the Royals have six former Brewers
so I'm rooting for them," he told HuffPost.
While real-life giants aren't rooting for San Francisco, some so-called
nobility aren't supporting the Kansas City Royals either.
Count Jeffrey Grimshaw, a Vermonter who purchased his English title for
around $400 back in 2003, says he stopped rooting for the Kansas City
baseball club after the George Brett era in the 1980s.
