RUSS ORTIZ DOESN'T INTIMIDATE you. He doesn't intimidate you with a stare or words or actions. He certainly doesn't intimidate you with rippling biceps or rock-hard abs or a bucket of vitamins or supplements or a suspicious package with a BALCO postmark.

What does Russ Ortiz eat?

"Whatever."

What does Russ Ortiz take?

"I don't take anything. Never have. For one, I'd forget to take them anyway."

What does Russ Ortiz weigh?

"About 225. If I'm less than that, I don't feel good. I don't feel like I have any energy. I accepted a long time ago that my body type was different from other guys. I tried to lose weight one year and I lost 10-15 pounds, I went from 210 to 195, and I was somewhere in between."
