Derek Jeter answers a reporter's phone

Who WOULDN'T want to hear The Captain's voice on the other end of a phone? This is the greatest day in Walt Reinheymer's life. PS: Excellent phone case, reporter.

In his rookie season, Brycer Harper responded to a reporter in the most Bryce Harper way possible. A retort that inspired GIFs, memes and even Senator Harry Reid to give his own imitation. Solid work, bro.

Nyjer Morgan talking Plushamentals

Munenori Kawasaki

One of the greatest postgame speeches in sports history. Take it away, Muni.
