The Prankster

From The Rogue's Baseball Index

The Prankster is a Major or Minor League player whom the media portrays as a jovial, fun-loving guy who keeps the team relaxed by administering practical jokes and maintaining a continuous running commentary of C-plus stand-up while shagging fly balls and sitting in the dugout. The Prankster is likely to deliver The Lazy Pie and, in the past, the Hot Foot and Bubblegum Head, and to perform on the infield tarp during rain delays.

Examples include:

• Pedro Martinez
• Ryan Dempster
• Roger McDowell
• Kevin Millar
