Excellent share. I remember during the first few weeks of the season, Hawk would go out of his way to rip on the Giants, who were ripping on AJ. I was a little shocked when they signed him, since AJ's press on the Giants was so bad.

Funny comment after the article:

AJ has my favorite exchange with an umpire that has led to an ejection.

On June 4, 2014, Pierzynski was ejected by umpire Quinn Wolcott after a leadoff walk by pitcher Brandon Workman because he asked Wolcott to “give me a new ball. One you can see.”

You can’t teach that, it’s a textbook example of intangibles in a player.
