Baseball players aren’t just baseball players. They are chefs, rappers, writers, fathers, and farmers, but they are mostly Emcees. These are some of baseball’s best Emcees.
You can catch MC Cann dropping his beats in the ATL.

Just like most human beings, baseball players were young at some point in their lives. I can tell you from experience, being the 17 year old doofus I am, that being young can lead to the making of mistakes. In the case of many current big leaguers, these mistakes were photographs. Photographs that will live on forever on the beautiful thing we call the Internet.
All these wonderful photos were found on perfectgame.org. Accompanying each photo are a few quotes that each player said during their photo shoot (probably).
Alex Gordon
“Has anybody seen my neck?
“No, I don’t really like the bearded look.”
Cliff Pennington
“I just don’t care.”
“What pimple?”

“My other undershirt was in the wash. Will this purple turtleneck do?”
“The sun is kind of in my eyes, can we take this photo somewhere else? No? Ok.”

“So when you take the picture do you want me to look at the camera or through the camera?”
“No… it’s two C’s. No no, s-a-l-t-a… Here let me just spell it for you…”
There must be something about Dioner Navarro that makes pitchers want to try something new. We’ve already seen Travis Wood and Ryan Cook pull out the backwards pitching method with Navarro involved. This time it was Francisco Liriano who decided that a through-the-legs glove flip was the best way to attack the chubby Pudge.
This is probably the most torque and power we’ve seen so far as Liriano really loads up his core to get as much velocity behind his glove flip as possible. He displays great posture at the moment of release. Watch how his back stays perfectly level as he flicks his glove. It’s amazing how he doesn’t even glance at home plate before releasing the ball. This is definitely an efficient way to hold runners on. Ain’t nobody stealing on this delivery.

In our last trip to Hagerstown, we watched diminutive second base prospect Tony Renda play the game of baseball. Renda, a part of the Nationals organization, has a healthy crop of players ahead of him at his position. Potentially including top prospect Anthony Rendon. We quickly realized: Rendon renders Renda useless. One thing lead to another and…
…here we have the most beautiful Mount Rushmore you could possible recreate. Tony Renda, Anthony Rendon, Tigers “closer” Bruce Rondon, and the top prospect for the 2014 draft, left-hander Carlos Rodon.
Basically, RDNROENDRONDOENRODNEONRNDENODNENDNDNEORNDNENRN.
Errybody got a podcast now. We gave it a shot and previewed our trip through Clinton, Iowa. There are some curse words in there and there might be some vulgar discussion about Twins prospect Jose Berrios so be warned. We also talk about Tyler Pike, Byron Buxton’s dad, The Dome of The Rock, and Smush McGinty. Musical guest is gmcfosho singing Imdabes. Let us know what you think.
Our “hotel” was a mix of insane asylum, old folks home, prison, and rehab center. Part 3 is the best. The beeeeeeeeeest.
