Usually when players speak up at team meetings, it’s to rally the troops with an inspirational speech. That’s not the case for Zack Greinke.

In Molly Knight’s new book about the Dodgers “The Best Team Money Can Buy,” she includes an awesome anecdote about Greinke speaking up at a team meeting. Greinke elected to address the issue of players not washing their hands after pooping. Seriously.

Craig Calcaterra posted about the story on Hardball Talk:

How do you like that? Zack Greinke unintentionally becoming a hero in the Dodgers’ 2013 season.

Greinke is a shy guy who has anxiety issues and therefore does not talk a great deal in public. But when he does, we’ve learned that he does not at all hold back. He almost plays that Kramer role in “Seinfeld”; have an uncomfortable issue that needs to be addressed? Just let Greinke bring it up. And don’t get mad at him for addressing it; he probably felt comfortable knowing he was in the tree of trust.
