Using the bathroom and not washing your hands is one of the most despicable acts you can commit. We know this. You know this. And yet, we still see people doing it every single day. WHAT'S SO HARD ABOUT TAKING 30 SECONDS TO WASH YOUR HANDS AFTER YOU USE THE BATHROOM, GUYS?!?
Sorry, but this frustrates us. Apparently, it frustrates Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke, too. Hardball Talk just got an advance copy of Molly Knight's new book, The Best Team Money Can Buy, about the Dodgers. And in the book, Knight reveals that, back in 2013, Greinke inadvertently inspired the Dodgers to win the NL West when he stood up in front of his teammates and loosened up the locker room by asking them to change their bathroom habits. According to Knight, Greinke never stands up in front of his teammates to address them as a whole, but he felt so passionately that he couldn't help but do it.
"Some of you guys have been doing the number two and not washing your hands," he told them. "It's not good. I noticed it even happening earlier today. So if you guys could just be better about it, that would be great."
"That would be great" = Understatement of the century. WASH YOUR %*&^#@! HANDS! Or else, Zack Greinke will call you out, and we don't blame him one bit for doing it.
