4. He is a clubhouse clown. His teammates love him. He loves his Cincinnati Reds.
- "He's got that loud, brash, New York-Philadelphia mentality, where you're outspoken and opinionated but lovable at the same time. He's the same guy every day. You know he's here when he comes in. He's constantly talking and providing humor for everybody. Everybody kind of gets a kick out of him. He keeps everybody loose."
5. He saved a man's life in Pittsburgh. The previous day he hit a 'no-handed' home run. What can't this guy do?
