@@thenightcallersmaximumrock4291 Pat explains it all in his humorous documentary he made about trying out for a pro baseball team (it's called Seventh Inning Stretch)...he said the weight gain started after he was put on prednisone to combat a nearly deadly allergic reaction he kept having apparently caused by stress. He said he'd always been skinny before that but even once off the pred. it became a daily struggle to keep the weight off.
