Childish Behavior

If it wasn't for Center Field reader Kim, I'd never have cottoned on to this hidden gem from the Sox-Tigers game on Wednesday:

video courtesy of NESN

Ostensibly it's a clip focusing on Daisuke Matsuzaka in the dugout as the NESN team discusses his outing from the previous game. But look a little closer at what's going on in the background... at the creative use of (and juvenile hilarity from) a hot water bottle.

Josh Beckett is really just a 10 year-old boy, isn't he?

Thanks to Kim for the tip! If you ever see fun or funny tidbits like this during a Sox broadcast, send me an email, and I'll try and get video up.

And he had that devilish Beckett grin as well.

And one other thing, it's amazing that she even caught that since it happened so quickly.

Hilarious! He'd fit right in with my 8th graders! I wonder if he knows he got caught on camera...

Kim here - I'm the one that alerted TG to this. :-) Yeah, it is amazing I caught this and I had to watch it several times because I couldn't believe that's what I was actually seeing!

As I said to TG - Commander Kickass is definitely a goofball - and a 10 year old one at that!

hehehehe

I absolutely love the fact that you posted this clip. I Tivoed the game and I replayed that piece over and over again. I never laughed so much. It just made my day to see it here, especially since I got to watch it during my boring class. Thanks for the laugh TG!
