Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Friday, July 25, 2008
I once asked a prominent relief pitcher to describe the most idiotic thing he had witnessed in the big leagues. “That’s easy,” he said, and launched into the story of a former teammate—an All-Star outfielder—who refused to use toilet paper. A clubhouse attendant supplied the player with a daily ration of hand towels, which, when soiled, would be flushed.
One afternoon the reliever came in from batting practice to find the locker room awash in frantic maintenance workers. When he asked a plumber what all the fuss was about, he was told that a washcloth-clogged toilet had overflowed and was threatening to submerge the bathroom stalls. “Of all the dumb stuff I’ve seen that particular outfielder do,” the stopper told me, “that was the dumbest.”
That particular outfielder was, of course, Manny Ramirez.
It’s just….
MANNY BEING MANNY!
Hat-tip (I guess) to Deadspin. I’m not sure whether to laugh or throw up now.
