In honor of the MLB All-Star Game coming up later this month, I’d like to profile my favorite MLB player ever.

Why is he my favorite? Is it for the prolific HRs? For his championship caliber play? For the way he went berzerk  after his infamous pine tar at-bat?

 

No, the reason I love Brett so much…..is this!

From Deadspin.com: Not sure which spring training this video is from, but the video was just released to an unsuspecting public on Thursday, and is destined to go down as a classic; watch now as Royals Hall of Famer George Brett regales a teammate about the many times he’s shit his pants. Seriously; Brett goes into great detail about this, and even at one point follows the poor guy across the field so that he can finish his story. At one point Brett says proudly: “I’m good twice a year for that. When’s the last time you shit your pants?” America needs to know just how close it came to this being the subject of Brett’s Hall of Fame induction speech. He is really into it.

Brett is a REAL man. “Double tapered” hahahahahahahaha

As a bonus, here’s some of my favorite baseball meltdowns:

I’ve recreated the greatest wrestling promo ever. No footage exists, but this is Rick Rude addressing the ECW crowd. I saw this live and it was amazing.
