Billy Butler was recently acquired by the Oakland Athletics and before the upcoming season gets started there was one piece of business that Butler had to take care of. His jersey number. But there was one problem, A’s outfielder Josh Reddick already wears the number #16.
How to you settle a jersey dispute with two redneck baseball players? You trade a winch for it.
I’m proud to say that I’ve never heard of a winch before today and I hope to never use one…unless I’m trying to jump on to a cargo boat in Die Hard with a Vengeance.
