You probably won’t recognize any of the players in this video because they play for the Minnesota Twins. But they pulled off what is easily baseball’s prank of the year so far, even though the MLB season is about as young as an R. Kelly hookup.
Starting pitcher Mike Pelfrey played his college ball at Wichita State University, who up until Sunday was the #1 seed in the Midwest bracket of the Men’s College Basketball Tournament. The fact that Pelfrey was beyond terrible last season, compiling a 5-13 record and 5.19 ERA, is irrelevant.
Well, manager Ron Gardenhire and his players decided to have some fun with Pelfrey last week while the Shockers of Wichita State were still alive in the tourney. Gardenhire called Pelfrey into his office and told him he had to give an inspirational speech to his alma mater’s basketball team.
Here’s how it went down.
For the sake of Twins fans, let’s hope Pelfrey is a little better on the mound this year than he is at giving inspirational speeches.
