poor kyle kendrick.

there's a lot of free time during major league baseball spring training. that's why almost the entire philidelphia phillies organization pulled an elaborate prank on 2nd-year pitcher kyle kendrick. they got everyone involved from the phillies' manager, to sports media, and even kendrick's agent. the synopsis is that kendrick gets called into manager charlie manuel's office and is told that he's being traded to japan's yomiuri giants for a player named kobayashi iwamura and that he's leaving tomorrow. kendrick is pretty much just in shocked silence for most of the video. i think the best part about the whole thing is despite the sheer number of people involved, no one gives it away. it's pretty amazing.
