It's been said on countless occasions that Garrett Olson looks more like an actor, playing a pitcher, than he does like an actual pitcher in real life. The transition is complete. (via)

Felix should grow out some skeezy 1970s facial hair
That would be amazing.
This almost makes me want to keep Olson.
Almost.

This is for ESPN Magazine, right?
Followup questions: Is it worth getting? Perhaps this issue specifically?
But they make you give them your credit card info for automatic renewal to get that deal.
I passed.

If you go through a website like discountmagazines.com you can pay your $3 through paypal and there is no auto rebill.

I just want to hear the pitch for this at ESPN HQ.
Are they doing these for other teams? Mauer and Brendan Harris play Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid?
Josh Hamilton and Chris Davis in women’s clothing as Thelma and Louise?

Steven Strasburg and MIguel Batista as George Milton and Lennie Small.

Plus I think it would be more relevant to make Josh Hamilton and Ron Washington
Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo.

Well this is odd.
Gotta do something in the offseason, I guess. Besides cry.

Felix and Garrett have a discussion in the dugout:
[Garrett has just blown the lead of close ball game.]
Felix: Oh, man, I will never forgive your ass for this shit. This is some fucked-up repugnant shit.
Garrett: Felix, did you ever hear the philosophy that once a man admits that he’s wrong that he is immediately forgiven for all wrongdoings? Have you ever heard that?
Felix: Get the fuck out my face with that shit! The motherfucker that said that shit never had to watch his Cy Young hopes disappear on account of your dumb ass.
Garrett: I got a threshold, Felix. I got a threshold for the abuse that I will take. Now, right now, I’m a fuckin’ race car, right, and you got me the red. And I’m just sayin’, I’m just sayin’ that it’s fuckin’ dangerous to have a race car in the fuckin’ red. That’s all. I could blow.
Felix: Oh! Oh! You ready to blow?
Garrett: Yeah, I’m ready to blow.
Felix: Well, I’m a mushroom-cloud-layin’ motherfucker, motherfucker! Every time my fingers touch a baseball, I’m Superfly T.N.T., I’m the Guns of the Navarone! IN FACT, WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOIN’ ON THE BENCH? YOU’RE THE MOTHERFUCKER WHO SHOULD BE ON BENCH DETAIL! We’re fuckin’ switchin’! I’m closin’ this ball game, and you’re pickin’ your ass on the bench!

I met Garrett the day after this shoot happened.
He was hanging out in Bellevue with his “ladyfriend” and was really excited about the Promo he had just done with Felix, but couldn’t tell me more. He had said it was for a commercial, but also that he wasn’t the first choice for Felix’s partner. Garrett lives in the Bay Area, but was free to fly up for the weekend and do the shoot. They had tried to get another guy (nameless) who lives in Seattle to do the shoot, but everyone else was out of town or busy.
Pretty cool job to get because everyone else was unavailable!
Hmm. Who then would be playing Vincent, if RRS had been the replacement?
Because RRS isn’t Travolta, either.
RRS mentioned on his Twitter that he referred ESPN to Olson
And RRS has been out of the country for a while. Perhaps he was the first choice? They have experience working with him when they did the stuff with him, Cliff Lee, Felix and Ichiro in spring training.
