Youā€™re killing me, Smallsā€¦: Adley Rutschman goes undercover brother in New York City

Not since Ian Levy became a hipster fan of this team have I found the Baltimore Orioles so got dam fascinating. Iā€™m gonna be totally honest, I kind of got turned off by the whole Cal Ripken Jr. charade of is he still good? that 1000 percent inspired the New York Giants panderfest of Eli Manning. I hate pandering almost as much as New Yorkers not recognizing Adley Rutschmanā€¦

I donā€™t whatā€™s better, his hair or his play, because theyā€™re both so spectacular. Youā€™re pretty great, too. Iā€™m only saying this to entice you to click around a bit and stay a little bit longer so I donā€™t get canceled like Rafael Palmeiroā€¦ The only goal with this article about nothing is for it to become the written version of Seinfeld so that I can go to New York and meet Rutschman at the MLB store.

I do realize we have a New York office somewhere in the land of the passerby uniformed. If I saw Rutschman, Iā€™d give him the knucks and say Go Beavs! because I know heā€™s bout that, too. One day, New Yorkers are going to care about Rutschman like they did with Mike Mussina when I was growing up. Mooseā€™s knuckle-curve was absolutely filthy, like the bottom of a rusted crab boil vat.

The only Gunnar jersey worth having is the one whose mom sleeps with Mike Gundy, sometimes.
