Today's moment of Zen

Johan Santana has personalized, complex handshakes/greetings for each of his teammates. Personally, I think that every player in MLB should be required to do something like this.

That was amazing --- I didn't really have much of an opinion about Johan Santana before. Now he's on my List of MLB Players What Are Awesome. :)

I can't believe I'm actually admiring a Met. Not only is he cool, but his teammates have all gone along with it.

Johan is awesome, as ever. He's been doing the handshake for everyone thing since he was with the Twins; I know other Twins do it too (and still do it). Though I've never seen an extended shot of any player doing so many of the different handshakes all in a row like that. Excellent.

I was sad when Johan left the Twins, not just because he's probably the best pitcher in baseball, but because he was also just an awesome guy to have around your club. Good to fans, good with other players and pretty much with everyone. I was happy to watch him pitch yesterday for the Mets and wish him (and Castillo) nothing but the best with that club (except maybe when playing the Twins, of course).

I think that's awesome, but I'd also like to see Korean Baseball Fighting implemented in at least one game a year.

I hear it'll be on the committee's plate this off season. :-)

*nod* One of the reasons I was so happy to get him is that he's clearly a driving force in the clubhouse. And just a classy player. The game needs more folks like him.

I see a future video game built around this. With maybe Jose Reyes's post-homer greetings as an unlockable.

It's one way to tell the real players from the impostors and shape-shifters.

*nod* He's the sort of player who clearly brings something to the clubhouse and his fellow players.

1. No one gets injured.
2. Baseball is entertainment, embrace it.
3. Sport Center won't have a clue what to do the first time it happens.

That is possibly the most awesome thing in baseball.

Ha! I love it!
