Buck Showalter said today one reason Ryan Flaherty made the Orioles as a Rule 5 pick in 2012 was because he brought two monkeys to a camp talent show that spring. The monkeys threw batting practice, and the Orioles were later fined by the health department, Showalter said.

This was back in 2013, I think. Tillman and Davis dressed up as Buck and Pressly with a skit and then finishing by dancing to Harlem Shake. That was determined to have beat out Flaherty's monkeys. https://t.co/AzNtYlJEf9
