The Cardinals’ bullpen is “cooler”

Well, since I’m seemingly the last one to jump on the bandwagon with publicizing this, I thought I’d catch up to the pack.

The Cards have recently been using a motorized cooler, courtesy of senior bullpen member {{bbref|i/isrinja|Jason Isringhausen}} to get their ice and beverages back and forth from the clubhouse to the ‘pen.

{{bbref|m/mccleky|Kyle McClellan}} was the rookie nominated for the job, and {{bbref|p/perezch|Chris Perez}} subs in when McClellan can’t return the rig to the clubhouse. They’ve even posted McClellan’s number on the back of the thing (of course, leave it to MLB to have their print on it too):

You can find similar “vehicles” at Cruzin Coolers, so if you wanted your own model, I’m sure the folks over there would oblige.

Just be careful when you cruise your cooler around town…
