Andrelton Simmons casually ate some seeds right before diving to rob Shin-Soo Choo

By Michael Clair

In the classic cult film "They Live," Rowdy Roddy Piper says "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick [butt]. And I'm all out of bubblegum." Andrelton Simmons is here to do the same, except he uses sunflower seeds. Also, unlike the film, the Angels defensive wizard happens to have a large supply of them. 
In the Angels' 5-2 victory over the Rangers on Sunday, Simmons grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds right before diving behind the second-base bag to rob Shin Soo-Choo of a base hit. 

I guess you could say he needed his seeds before snaring a seed ... get it?
