Cool Phils pull great prank

Did anybody see this? I actually felt bad for the guy, but it's pretty funny.

Quote:
If you haven't seen it yet the setup went like this: Manager Charlie Manuel called the 23-year-old pitcher into his office and told him he had been traded to the Yomiuri Giants for a player named "Kobayashi Iwamura." The ruse, expertly orchestrated by Brett Myers (who else?), worked so well that Kendrick was shocked into silence for most of the trick. Couldn't even stop to realize that MLB and Japanese teams never swap players.
Click on it.

Yep but if I Kendrick was smart he would've known he isn't playing soccer and can't be traded between leagues.

Cool Re: Phils pull great prank

One of the funniest parts is how he's just signing documents without thinking about it.

When I heard about this I almost cried due to laughter, but seeing it is great.
