Grand Salami Time

Adam was lucky enough to interview 1980's Mariners 3B who is famous for his Charisma, Intelligence, AND Blooper Reels. He is notably famous in Bloopers for going down on his hands and knees and blowing a bunt foul. Lenny had an incredible baseball career. He grew up in Compton, California at Centennial High School, and ended up playing at Arizona State where he was drafted in 1970. He played 12 seasons in the Major Leagues with stops which included the Yankees, Mets, and the Mariners. He hit over .300 twice in his career and also stole 30+ bases twice.

Video of Lenny blowing the ball foul:

He is also often on Reddit's front page for a difference occasion when a pitcher through at Lenny (and various other teammates). Lenny laid down a beautiful bunt on the 1st line and the pitcher picked the ball up, and Lenny "Trucked"  (tackled) the pitcher, causing a major brawl that cleared the benches and the stands.

Quick Clip of bunt:

This is the legendary Lenny Randle, who was a pioneer for leaving the states to play baseball oversees.
