Josh Reddick of the Boston Red Sox is apparently just another mark. Jessica Camerato of CSNNE.com reported on Reddick’s adoration for not only the WWE, but specifically Triple H. His locker is donned with a Triple H folding chair, replica belt, and a genuine Ric Flair robe that is hung high on the ceiling. The robe was a gift for teammate and fellow WWE fan, Dustin Pedroia.
But it doesn’t stop there. Reddick recently switched his at-bat music from Ric Flair’s famed entrance song, to Triple H’s.
Some notable quotes from the feature:
On Triple H:
“He’s always been a guy — I know they say it’s all fake — but he’s always someone I’ve enjoyed watching because it looks like a passion more than just a job and an entertainment,†Reddick said. “He takes it really seriously even though the situations, they say, are fake.â€
On comparing baseball with pro-wrestling:
“They obviously can get away with being a lot bigger than the average person and apparently baby oil is a huge objective for them to come out on TV (laughs). And they’re not afraid to come out in their sliders and spandex alone,†he said. “But they’ve got the awesome entrances with the fireworks and the videos and the music. They’re huge entertainers and we kind of share that in common.â€
