Thanks to a tip from some readers, Deadspin discovered the amazing Instagram account of a Toronto co-ed softball team. Theyβre call the Stinkmitts and, on Instagram, they pretend like theyβre a serious, high-profile MLB team with a pennant at stake, not just a bunch of after-work schlubs going to the bar after a game.
The highlight of the account is the post-softball press conferences that they give. For example, this guy knows how to give generic, fluffy interviews to the press like a true tight-lipped MLB coach:
I love that they hold their cells phones in the frame like anything theyβre recording matters (why the hell do reporters still do this in the TV era?):
Itβs amazing how high-paid athletes can say so much but so little.
And then there are these gems:
Every softball and kickball team ever should have just as awesome of a social media presence.
Go Stinkmitts.
