During a recent visit to Walmart, I witnessed a man wearing tighty-whighty underwear on the outside of his tattered Levis. He was carrying a Care Bear doll from the 1980s in one hand and drinking out of a gallon jug of chocolate milk with the other. His teal cowboy boots were decorated with a bright red flower on each side, and his hair was cinched tight in a pony tail despite being mostly bald on the front of his head. The man skipped more than he walked as he passed me in the fishing supply aisle.
And, dear readers, I cannot lie, the man I just described confused me less than the organizationally destructive moves Shoeless orchestrated over the last 24 hours.
Yet, Shoeless does as Shoeless does.
"We'd like to thank Eddie (Encarnacion), George (Lugo), and Raf (Mota) for their professionalism while wearing a Mad Popes uniform," Shoeless said during an impromptu press conference. "But, we're looking forward to the beautiful blue seas The Right WindTM pushed us towards."
In the trade, Shoeless' wildly destructive team philosophy netted the organization first baseman/DH Fernando Cruz, third baseman and former Crusader Luis Lucero, knuckleball prospect Raj Mahadevan, reliever prospect John Scovell, and 17-year-old outfielder Jiao-long Ma.
