I read about this before yesterday's game. Besides the fact that playing baseball in 90-degree weather in a thong is probably one of the most uncomfortable things ever, I think it's awesome. And no not because I want to get my hands on the undergarments of Brian Roberts or Nick Markakis. But, because it builds morale.
Ever since Millar signed with the Orioles in 2006, he has been boosting the mood in the clubhouse. From dying his hair crazy colors to playing lead singer in the Orioles Magic video, Millar has always tried to pull more tricks out of his sleeve. Maybe it's coming from a World Series championship team, but he has become the unofficial leader and, more importantly, motivator.
And, apparently, the team met before the game at Millar's locker and took part of some sort of mysterious ritual where they "broke something." Hey, whatever works!
