I'm not even a Nats fan, but Max may be my favorite player.

Such a joy to watch players like Max Scherzer. The passion and grit from this guy is beautiful.

Dude is a total gamer, which is what you have to love about this Max's mentality. Especially in our era of primadonna, diva athletes. He's polar opposite to those types.

By the thumbnail and title alone I thought this was a jomboy breakdown at first.

[jfried]

Wow. What a show of grit and determination. He deserves to be in the all star game.
