Watching Twins Infielder Eduardo Escobar Whiff On Guessing A Majority Of His Teammates' Names Is Very Relatable
This is gonna be a weird start to this blog, but hang with me while I get to my point.
In 2008, there was a major league pitcher by the name of Geremi Gonzalez who was struck by lightning and killed. I remember a blog post that Curt Schilling wrote after his death, and the title of the blog was called “My Friend”, and the reason for that was because Gonzalez called everyone “my friend” because he couldn’t remember anybody’s name.
So, we think of our favorite baseball teams as little tight knit families, but in reality, there are some guys on each team who just have no idea what the fuck anybody’s name is. Apparently Twins infielder Eduardo Escobar is one of those guys. I mean, I could understand if this were his first spring training with the Minnesota Twins, but this is his fifth year with the team. For fuck’s sake, man. Learn your teammates’ names.
The reason why this video stuck out to me, though, is because I think it would be fucking HILARIOUS if El Pres tried to do this with people who work in the Barstool office. Obviously he knows the bloggers, but I guarantee he’d have a success rate of less than 25% in trying to name all the people who work on the business/production side of the office. Didn’t some dude just come on Barstool Radio last week and introduce himself to Dave, even though he’s been working there for six months? I need somebody in the NY office to make this happen.
