A.J. Burnett vs. a truck (Video and GIF)

I recently stumbled upon this video thanks to MLB’s new, amazing, progressive YouTube engagement, and I tittered for several minutes. The problem is that it’s almost 10 years old. When I showed it to a couple co-workers, I got two different responses:

1. “Oh, yeah, that’s a classic.”

2. “I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT.”

My ignorance broke the tie. So I present to you, A.J. Burnett vs. a truck:

Still tittering.

Of course, if this happened today, you’d need one of these within two minutes:

Still tittering.

Is a hit by a pitch so the truck has to walk to first base!

these athletes are such a-holes....let 5 other men clean up your mess, you’re too important......what a disgrace pro sports have become, grown men needing another man to squirt water in their mouths, and tie their shoes for them, and rub their calves. give me Robin Yount, George Brett, Paul Hornung any day over today’s prima donnas (some are still real men...Favre, ARodgers, Brent Seabrook, Duncan Keith)

Too bad Burnett never went wild and beaned Jeff Loria’s fat fucking pumpkin head. Send the ground crew to sweep up the teeth, blood, and bone fragments.

Sleep tight. And take that, truck.
