The Freshman

Did anyone hear? The rook got his first taste of the humorous Philadelphia Phillies. Sophomore starter Kyle Kendrick was part of a great practical joke headed by Phillies starter Brett Myers.
Myers convinced most of the organization in Clearwater to play a joke on Kendrick. The joke: Kendrick being traded to Japan for a bucket of balls pretty much. The gullible Kendrick had no idea what to do or what to think.
The story even went public. Both Myers and Kendrick appeared on NBC's The Today Show to talk about the prank. And the best part starting centerfielder Shane Victorino gave Myers a shaving cream pie in the face on national TV. Take that Brett is probablly what Kendrick was thinking. This is a constitute in the Phillies clubhouse. Jokes and shaving cream pies in the face.
I've been seeing this for as long as I can remember. Whatever it takes dude compliments the 1993 NL Champion Philadelphia Phillies.
