The Chicago White Sox have done just about everything to get right-hander Jake Peavy to the All-Star Game in Kansas City, with every stunt stemming from the TakeJake hashtag on Twitter.
But second baseman Gordon Beckham took the movement to a whole new level when he impersonated Peavy in an interview with 670 The Score's Chris Rongey on MLB.com.
In the interview, Beckham comes out wearing a "TakeJake" sleveless T-shirt, earbuds around his neck and a guitar which he gives to someone off camera before sitting down with Rongey.
When asked why he should be voted into the All-Star Game, "Peavy" replied:
"When I get out there, I give 100 percent all the time, every time. I go out there, and it's not even about me. I just want to go out there and give my team a chance to win. I really hope I do make it.
"But if it doesn't happen, there's other things I gotta do. I could play my guitar and stuff like that, and I'm just excited about this opportunity and for this team to make the playoffs," Beckham added in Peavy's Southern Drawl accent.
Peavy currently sits in second place of the American League Final Vote, trailing Texas Rangers pitcher Yu Darvish.
