Mike Bordick and Jay Johnstone Trumpet Prank

Here is an old video starring Mike Bordick of the Oakland A’s. He thinks he will be disrupting an interview with a loud blast from a trumpet, but the joke is on him. The trumpet was filled with powder with the end pointed right at his own face. Good thing it was only powder in that horn.

And some other great baseball pranks…

Brett Lawrie of the Toronto Blue Jays comes unglued

Last night was a crazy night for Toronto Blue Jays fans. Jays third baseman Brett Lawrie went ballistic after the ump called a couple of questionable strikes. Lawrie spiked his helmetoff the ground and it hit umpire plate umpire Bill Miller. Oops. The ump clearly needs glasses, but you can’t throw tantrums like that in baseball.

The game got worse when a drunk fan threw a beer at Miller as the umpires were exciting the field after the game. Click image to watch it in slow motion.
