It doesn't take a lot of digging to get to the root of Nyjer Morgan as a baseball player. The Yokohama BayStars outfielder practices hard, plays hard and, as a point of pride, keeps things refreshingly simple.
Morgan is also usually the person having the most fun on the field. He flashes his trademark "T" sign when he makes plays, both large and small, and will go through various routines — from T signs to Hulk Hogan-esque flexing — with his teammates after playing defense.
"He's an interesting guy," said BayStars captain Takehiro Ishikawa. "He always has something positive to say. Even when we're going through a losing streak, he always remains positive."
