More awesome righteousness from our favourite utility infielder:

Nobody ever accused Rex Hudler of being dull. In fact, his humor, enthusiasm, and unpredictable behavior brightened up clubhouses in six cities over his 13-year major league career.

So what was the accomplishment for which Hudler is best remembered by former teammates? “I ate a bug once in St. Louis,” he said. “A lot of players on the bench remember that and bring it up when I see them.

“I called it the rally bug, but it was really a June bug. We were down six runs to the Mets and we came back and won, 7-6. I chewed it up and swallowed it. I made 800 bucks.”
