Major League Baseball players may be celebrities, but deep down, they’re just like us.
Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Tim Mayza finished 4-10 in his team’s fantasy football league this past NFL season. As a result, he served an embarrassing punishment during the Blue Jays’ Spring Training opener on Saturday afternoon.
Mayza was demoted to bat boy for Saturday’s game, and he was also seen wearing a personalized jersey with “4-10” replacing his usual number.

Mayza, 32, has pitched in the majors for each of the last three seasons, so perhaps he has a few more years on the mound. However, once he does eventually retire, we’re optimistic that he can find his true calling as a bat boy.
One job Mayza certainly won’t have? Fantasy football analyst. Perhaps he should check out Prime Time Sports Talk’s fantasy football coverage to right the ship and avoid drafting another embarrassing team next year.
