The Oakland Athletics have suffered many years of defeat and despair, but this year they are doing much better and are having have fun, too. The instigator is outfielder Josh Reddick or, as he is known by some, “S-PIE-DERMAN.” The reason is that when the A’s win in their last at bat, he puts a whipped cream pie in the face of the person who delivered the significant blow; and recently he has been doing this in a Spiderman costume.
Now it may be that this is a short lived proposition, good for this season and this team only, but you’ve got to admire the spirit behind it. After all, he has to get off the field, into his Spidey costume and secure the pie all in very short order and he does it with flair and panache!
Do you have someone in your organization that might be suited (sorry) for such a role? You know create a spontaneous celebration of an exciting outcome? Perhaps the instigator delivers a balloon; or becomes the Cupcake Crusader; or, well, just about anything.
This seems like an easy way to have fun and celebrate success; a win-win proposition.
And pies to the face are not required!
