11:57 AM ET 02.16 | Zack Greinke is not unique. He hates traffic as much as anyone transplanted to Southern California. In fact, after signing with the Dodgers as a free agent this winter, he wanted to live on a beach. But the thought of fighting the traffic to Dodger Stadium on a regular basis was so unappealing he looked into another option -- taking a helicopter to the park. "I did. I looked into it but I don't think you can land at the stadium," Greinke said. "It's not as easy as it sounds." Nor is Greinke unique in dealing with social anxiety disorder.

Suck it up, fruitcup. Millions of Angelenos deal with traffic every day and they aren't getting paid millions to do so.

Buy you a limousine and hire a gang member as your driver.

When Tom Monahagn owned the Tigers he would use his helicopter from Ann Arbor to Tiger Stadium and everyone thought he was an ass for doing so !!

Calfornia highways and traffic are the worst in the country...that being said dude you can hire someone to drive you to the park.

How about having a Limousine drive you? Sit in the back, relax, read something. Be ready to go when you get there. You DID just sign a contract for almost $150 Million over 6 years. Certainly you can afford a Limo service, correct?

Hopefully he wasn't being serious.

Read the entire article before you post. At the end it said that Greinke has a 'social anxiety disorder'. While he was with the Royals, he almost gave up his career because of it. That is why I was suprised to he went to LA. I thought he would stay with small market teams.
