Carlos Zambrano is crazy. I think we can all agree on that.

I bet we can also agree that in almost every setting, being crazy is a nuisance. You would be hard-pressed to find many advantages of being mentally unstable in normal, everyday activities. Usually, the people mumbling incoherently to themselves on the street or flipping over tables at Starbucks after the barista put whole milk in their lattes instead of skim are not the most productive members of society. Their insanity automatically puts them at a disadvantage in life. Sorry, crazy people, I don't make the rules.

But, if you think about it, professional athletes are not really governed by those same rules. Often times, the sports world has shown us that being crazy does not negatively affect performance, and more often than not, insanity can actually be beneficial to a player's career. Don't believe me?
