Well, as promised in the Photo Day post for the rest of the team, here is a Photo Day post devoted entirely to the Liam Hendriks Experience. You may want to sit down to take this one in.

  • We’ll kick it off in a sorta normal, even boring, way. Pick up your game, Liam. Ron Vesely/Getty Images
  • That’s more like it ... steal Eloy’s batting gloves, make sure you have a fitted helmet ... Ron Vesely/Getty Images
  • Pretty decent stance, Liam. Ron Vesely/Getty Images
  • He got all of that one! Ron Vesely/Getty Images
  • Perhaps not a recommended stance at the plate, but: damn cool. Ron Vesely/Getty Images
  • Listen to Liam: Wear a mask, mate. Ron Vesely/Getty Images
  • Crickey! He got all of ANOTHER one! Ron Vesely/Getty Images
  • Pure badassery. Ron Vesely/Getty Images

So, I started to wonder, was Liam Hendriks always this odd? I mean, even as a younger player, did he take Photo Day as an opportunity to goof off? I think you know the answer:
