One time, Joe Carter pulled an amazing prank on Derek Bell by pretending to raffle off his car mid-game. He rode onto the field in it and the announcer read off a fake “winning ticket”. The look on his face is too funny (1992). pic.twitter.com/KWYRo8fURk

I can take zero credit for this at all.  Part of being a blogger is making sure the right guys get the credit and that credit goes to Jeff Marek who RT’d this with a comment that read ‘So good’.

He’s right.

The look on Derek Bell’s face is fucking priceless.  He actually thinks Joe Carter is raffling off his electric green SUV.

Joe’s face is even better than Bell’s.  He’s grinning ear to ear knowing Bell is shitting his uniform.

OMG!! He was SHOOK!

The sad part is, I had had no idea this happened and have no recollection of it, and I know Joe.  I’ve changed clothes in a golf club men’s washroom next to Joe.  I’ve golfed with Joe and talked to Joe at length about a million things including his Dad’s gas station across the street from the OKC bombing but he failed to mention the greatest thing he’s ever done other than this:

Hail to the legend and the best sports ambassador this city has ever seen (bar none/zero-argument) also being a huge prick in the best way.

Derek Bell went on to live on a boat and get arrested for repeated drug offenses but I’m sure this life-altering experience had nothing to do with it.
