Luis Gonzalez Explains His Very Own 32 Year Old Easter Egg

In a video posted by MojoSportsLLC a few days ago, Luis Gonzalez talks about a very subtle easter egg planted in the background of one of his baseball cards. While holding his 1994 Donruss Studio card, Gonzo points out that he hung a rubber rat in his locker that can be seen just above his shoulder. As one of many Diamondbacks fans that name the left field legend as their favorite player in franchise history, I especially love Gonzo for a few reasons.

Like I mentioned in my last article, I always sat in left field so I was always sitting closest to Luis. I am left-handed and played left field, and I loved mimicking his batting stance. We even share the same birthday in September.

I thought I knew the kind of personality Gonzo had – at least, as much as a normal fan could interpret from interviews and commercials. But this baseball card told a whole different story. I did a little research to see how much of a prankster our World Series hero was.

Gonzalez explains in the video that the rat was a go-to prank method in the clubhouse. He would hide the rubber rats in laundry bins and equipment boxes to terrify clubhouse attendants. Mustaaaaaaaard!
