What would a unicorn do?

An illustrative comment on yesterday's DLD contemplates how Mark Ellis might handle a broom-wielding confrontation.

Looking at the options, I can't help thinking that "chase a rainbow" sounds more like something Travis Buck might do.

It's a slow day, so maybe this warrants a new discussion thread.

Star-divide

Which A's player (or former A's player) do you think is most likely to do each of the following:

  • Chase a rainbow
  • Leap across a ravine
  • Impale evil things
  • Graze on honeysuckle
  • Race the wind
  • Nuzzle a newborn
  • Believe in miracles
  • Prance through a waterfall
  • Majestically gallop
  • Whinny and rear
  • Pose on a windy cliff
  • Frolic in a meadow

From what I heard

Barry Zito is widely believed to be the player most likely to "Prance through a waterfall."

Edging his way along the crowded paths of life, putting a Milo on all human sympathy and feeling the richer for it.
