One of the strange baseball traditions is the shaving cream pie. It's a classic practical joke, in which a player fills a paper plate with shaving cream, comes up behind a teammate (preferably during a TV interview), and gets him in the face.
The Mariners' closer, J.J. Putz, is notorious for pulling this prank on his teammates in the bullpen, especially when they achieve a milestone, like their first win. Last night, Putz dominated in the 9th inning for his first save after coming off the disabled list, and after the game, he was noticeably uncomfortable during the requisite TV interviews.
BOOSH!
That is an amazing display of stealth ninja skills on the part of Mark Lowe. He was crouched down and hiding behind J.J.'s clothes in his locker, waiting for the interview to start before striking. Just amazing.
