Darrelle is such a great defender. While playing defense, you cannot pass his ‘Island’, which is whatever part of the field he occupies during the game. The nickname – Revis Island is well deserved. Friendly advise; if you’re playing against Darrelle, stay away from his island.

Baseball is already tough enough. I mean, fast balls are hard enough to hit. Baseball players are used to tall pitchers but Randy is hard to adjust to. However, Lanky Randy is 6’10 inches tall and his fast balls are almost impossible to hit. Whenever a hitter shows up and meets Randy, the game is lost before it starts. Randy has definitely earned his nickname. He really is the big unit.
