Skip Schumaker talks nickname, fantasy football on 'Intentional Talk'
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Skip Schumaker joined Chris Rose and Kevin Millar on MLB Network's 'Intentional Talk' Tuesday and the results were hilarious.
Rose and Millar first asked him about his defensive play on Aug. 2 to which he replied, "I'm just so happy it went in the glove."
Schumaker explained how he got his nickname 'Skip.' He said his dad decided to give him a nickname in T-ball because there were a lot of Jareds, and he nicknamed him 'Skip' because Schumaker couldn't actually skip.
The three also talked about Schumaker meeting Dodgers' pitcher Orel Hershiser in a bar at age 10, and taking a picture with him. Schumaker and Hershiser took a picture 20 years later with that picture at a Dodgers game.
Schumaker went on to talk about the Reds charity fantasy football league, a tradition he continued from Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright.
Schumaker told Millar and Rose that while Odell Beckham Jr. is a stud, he'd take Adrian Peterson No. 1 overall in their points per reception league for his team, It Ertz when Eifert.
In rapid fire, Schumaker said teammate Joey Votto would be the best NFL kicker on the Reds, partially due to his tight pants, and that he'd rather have Billy Hamilton's teeth than Pena's face.
