"He's like the Rain Man of high-fives"


We all know that I do not care for baseball

('cept for:
1.
Fernando Valenzuela when I was a little girl,
2.
Manny Ramirez for being funny & having an actual personality in pro sports,
3.
the fact that there's a dude named Milton Bradley, and
4.
the '04 Red Sox, so fresh! Sorry...wicked awesome).

All the players play for all the teams at one point or another, it's next-levels slow and boring, and George Steinbrenner seems like a real ass.
HOWEVER--

I am immensely entertained by the clip below. OMG. Form, skill, technique, etc., etc.

Link, if/when MLB takes the video off YouTube like a buncha suckers.



"Johan Santana apparently has an individual handshake ritual for every player on his team.

Before the first pitch at Great American Ballpark today, Santana went from one end of the dugout to the other greeting each of teammates in a unique way. It's not like he just has two or three that he recycles—every single guy gets his own secret shake and Santana somehow remembered them all on cue. That must have taken the entire spring training to organize. What a tremendous athlete!

He's like the Rain Man of high-fives."
