Johan Santana’s secret handshake for every Mets player (Video)

Somehow I picture Bob Feller wearing a Plissken patch waiting for Johan at the end of the dugout.

I am of course referring about Santana’s mastery of individualized handshake/high-five rituals. We really can’t even pick a favorite. They are all tremendous. Truly amazing. Not to draft off the NYT article and get all “Johan is embracing his role as leader,”

Pretty good, but Victor Martinez has been doing this for years... although I'm sure he wasn't the first either.

Go Tribe.
