A photo tweeted by Kansas City Royals LHP Everett Teaford yesterday went viral today as people everywhere learned the answer to the age-old question, “How many former Midwest League players can fit into Jonathan Broxton’s pants at the same time?”
The answer is two.
This may be the best baseball-related photo ever tweeted by a player.
Teaford (left) pitched in 27 games for the Burlington Bees in 2007, going 6-8 with a 4.68 ERA and 84 strikeouts in 134.2 IP. His partner in crime, LHP Tim Collins, pitched in 39 games for the Lansing Lugnuts in 2008, compiling a 4-2 record with a 1.58 ERA and 98 strikeouts in 68.1 IP.
Broxton, the burly Royals reliever who previously closed for the Los Angeles Dodgers, did not play in the Midwest League.
