Jeff Francoeur of the Padres’ Triple-A team, the El Paso Chihuahuas, was pranked by his teammates good. For weeks, he thought the team’s pitcher Jorge Reyes was deaf. Even though he had countless opportunities to realize that Reyes had perfect hearing, he never caught on to the gag.
Soon, even Jorge’s wife was in the on joke.
Now, this video telling the story of the prank, posted by Daylight Films, has gone viral over the weekend with over half a million hits so far!
