Don’t ask why Fernando Rodney pulled a plantain out of his pants

Yeah...

Yep, you read that headline. Don’t ask. Just don’t.

Is this funny? Is it just weird? Does Fernando Rodney respect the unwritten rules of baseball?

Did you know plantains can grow that large?

UPDATE: This is apparently a thing. The Rally Platano.
