Sox & Dawgs has a great find this weekend in which we learn something really weird: Tim Wakefield, master of the flutterball, says "Schnikeys!" way, way too much. OK, maybe that's overkill. But I did hear it come out of Wakefield's mouth at least twice in this video, in which Wakefield's recent trip aboard one of the Blue Angels is chronicled. Roll the tape: Many people who fly with the Blue Angels black out at some point, lose their lunch, etc. Wakefield? It's just "Schnikeys!" and a big grin. Nerves of steel, ladies and gentlemen. Nerves of steel.
