I always think these kinds of jokes are more cruel than funny but sounds like he took it ok.

I thought that was brilliant. You would think ballplayers would know they can't get traded to Japan.

I read this yesterday. Brilliant.

So, when he does get traded for real, will he not believe for a while?

[trwi7]

Here's the video of it. Even more hilarious than the story.

that was very funny. In the video jenkins is in the back ground.

That's funny stuff. I needed that after the Gallardo thread.

i really thought this thread was about kyle kendrick being a punk for some reason before i opened it.

 

great stuff. did they ask him to get the key for the batters box after that?

That was pretty funny. He looked all sad when they told him he was traded. Jenkins still doesn't look right in that red and grey, lol.

Just watched the video... I can't believe how professional he acted during the whole ordeal. He really took it in stride.

[crewcuts]

Pretty elaborate setup, including the paperwork and media...The look of relief when he was told it was a gag was palpable..A major league "PHEW"...

I'd say that it is pretty cruel, but if he's actually that stupid to not realize you can't be traded to another country, it's hard to feel bad for him.

I know I couldn't believe that. It was funny, I felt kind of bad for him but he took it in stride. I liked how the media, manager, GM and players were all in on it.

As did I. I thought it should read "Phillies punk Brett Myers" for greater accuracy...

That is a very well orchestrated and perfectly executed prank right there. Good stuff.
