Video: Blue Jays' Tim Mayza Works as Bat Boy to Serve Fantasy Football Punishment
February 24, 2024
Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Tim Mayza was helping his team out on Saturday, but it wasn't from his usual spot on the mound.
Mayza served as the Blue Jays' bat boy during Toronto's spring training game against the Philadelphia Phillies as a punishment for coming in last place in the team's fantasy football league.
As part of the punishment, Mayza had to rock a unique jersey with his fantasy team's record on it, which was 4-10.
Perhaps the punishment will be good motivation for Mayza next season as he looks to have a better finish in fantasy football.
For now, he'll be focused on helping the Blue Jays rack up wins. Mayza is coming off a year where he notched a career-best 1.52 ERA, registering 53 strikeouts across 69 innings.
The Blue Jays had a decent 89-73 season last year, but they were bounced in the wild-card round for a second straight season.
