Per The Sun- Our favorite reliever likes to do lots of stuff. I always had a thing for articles like this that let us into the lives of our favorite players. To me, it definitely seems to give me more of a connection with the team that I so passionately follow. Let's see, JJ just seems like an all around good guy.

He's a handyman, rehabbing a fixer-upper home in Florida. He's a former volunteer firefighter-emergency responder who has performed CPR three times in attempts to resuscitate heart attack victims. If he weren't a baseball player, he likely would have been a fireman. Or a carpenter. Or maybe an engineer if he had accepted that baseball scholarship to Georgia Tech. He loves to fish and to snowboard and to do anything outdoors. "People that know me know I do a lot of different things. I don't like to be idle," he said. "I always have my hand in something and am doing something hands-on."

You think he counts the O's bullpen as one of his resuscitations? I mean, what's better than a pitcher who can build toy chests, rewire a house, and renovate a staircase?

His old high school coach calls him "a regular Bob Vila."

I'm sure there's a new nickname just screamin' to be found in this article... JimBob Johnson?

"We've told him to watch it with the bandsaw. You don't want to get a finger," said his mom, Gini.

Nubby?
FireMarshall Bill?

I'm sure there's something in here just waiting to take hold.
