Something special, Someone sacred: Donaldson's Bat,Earring.

Watching Josh Donaldson live his life is often an entertaining thing. Remember Xena the puppy?

I remember telling a friend of mine, one who has no idea who Donaldson is, about Donaldson having a walk-on role on Vikings. And she said, "Wait, how did that happen?" and I said, "I don't know. He did say he was a fan." 

And she replied, "So this guy just says he likes a show and boom, he's on the show?" 

Pretty much. 

The latest  chapter in "Adventures of Joshua" involves him getting an earring. And not just any earring: a dangling crucifix earring. 

I'm actually not mad at it. I mean, I remember when people wore those. It’s very 90's.

Dosh said it was a Barry Bonds inspiration. And I remember that look:

Like I said, it was a look. However, it reminds me of is a different style icon.

All Dosh is missing is mirrored aviators, torn jeans and a leather jacket. Then he will be your preacher/teacher, anything you had in mind. He will be your father figure, he has had enough of crime. He will be the one who loves you, 'til the end of time.

Several of Donaldson's teammates reacted to the new look.  

"I think they were like... Oh my God, he did it."

Israel Fehr, now covering the Jays for The Athletic, talked to Donaldson about hitting.

(That's just one nugget. There are several. Get a subscription, already. It’s two lattes at Starbucks a month.)

The piece also references this. It's a classic.
