Kevin Youkilis has nothing on Jim Traber

Kevin Youkilis charged the mound Tuesday night and sent Tigers rookie Rick Porcello backpedaling before earning two points for the take down. According to Keith Law, Youkilis was "acting like a fool."

That's nothing.

You want backpedaling? You want "acting like a fool"? I've got two words for you: Jim Traber.

The former Oriole once chased a Japanese pitcher into center field while charging the mound and later fell on his face, and into a kick, during a return trip to the mound.

That clip is hilarious

What was that event anyway? They look like they were on a little league field or something.

Traber's

on a radio show here in OKC and people give him grief ALL the time about this. It was during his stint in Japan…he played a few seasons over there.

My grandparents

lived in columbia, next door to the Trabers. Every damn time I’d go over there I’d get like 10 5×7 autographed pics. No Eddie Murray, No Storm Davis, No Cal… All fucking Traber.

I was happy as hell when he was shipped out.
