Kyle Kendrick may be a bit hokey, Brett Myers is probably a douche
Kyle Kendrick, the youngest member of the Phillies, has a sweet charm about him. He’ll answer questions the day before games, he’ll forget to answer them after his starts (then apologize profusely) and seems to genuinely like being a baseball player (and not in the ways that, say, Pat Burrell likes being a ballplayer).
He’s one of the guys who is probably enamored with the concept of being part of a team.
Which means that while pranks like this
may be funny, they’re also probably a little dickheadish as well.
I bring this up because two days ago it was Kyle Kendrick’s birthday, and what he wanted for his birthday was a baseball signed by the entire team. It’s a cute request, totally reasonable, and shows a little about what KK is about. So everyone signs the team ball except for Brett Myers, who makes a show of refusing to sign. Everyone had a chuckle, but Brett kept at it, and kept at it.
Finally Myers relents, grabs a pen and scribbles a name on the ball.
The name he signed?
“Kyle Kendrick”
FWIW
