I hate to post two youtube videos in a row - especially because the one in this second post has absolutely nothing to do with the Red Sox. However, this video has to be shared- because I cannot deny the power of the boogie.

Orel Hershiser - you CANNOT DANCE. Stop it. You are giving a bad name to all other rhythm-less white guys out there in the world. Also, your gyrating hips are going to haunt my dreams. Well, that and those satin jackets you and your teammates are wearing.

I would pay good money to see someone try and convince a team of today's ballplayers to do something like this. "No, Derek Lowe, singing into a hairbrush like it's a microphone while wearing makeup and a satin jacket does not make you look like a tool. I swear!" Or- "I don't know, Gary Sheffield, I think this pink satin jacket is more your style. The lavender satin doesn't go well with your skin tone." Or- "Hey, Greg Maddux, it's almost time for your solo. Really go to town with those hip swivels!"

On the other hand, it is entirely possible Jonathan Papelbon would be game to do that. In fact, he may already have recorded a version of this video- it wouldn't surprise me.
